Ingredients:

For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups crushed nuts (your choice)
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons sugar

For the Filling:

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup boiling water
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream

Instructions:

Crust:

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
In a bowl, combine the crushed nuts, melted butter, and sugar, stirring until well mixed.
Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, forming an even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until lightly golden.

Filling:

Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules and ground cinnamon in boiling water, then set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and flour at medium speed using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Blend in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the cooled coffee mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until well combined.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) and continue baking for an additional 1 hour, or until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Once baked, carefully loosen the edges of the cheesecake from the rim of the pan and allow it to cool completely before removing the rim.
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to set.
When ready to serve, garnish with whipped cream if desired, and enjoy the rich, creamy goodness of this decadent Cappuccino Cheesecake!
