This rich and creamy Espresso Cheesecake combines the bold flavors of espresso with the smooth texture of classic cheesecake. Set on a crunchy graham cracker crust, this dessert is perfect for coffee lovers looking for a decadent treat with a perfect balance of sweet and slightly bitter notes.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Batter

  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder

Crust

  • 1 graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to mix until fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Finally, stir in the espresso powder until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  2. Pour into crust: Pour the prepared cheesecake batter evenly into the 9-inch graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
  3. Bake until set: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the cheesecake on the middle rack and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when gently shaken.
  4. Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let it fully set and enhance the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • To make espresso powder if unavailable, grind finely instant espresso granules.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth batter without lumps.
  • Use a water bath during baking for a creamier texture without cracks.
  • Serve with whipped cream or chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent touch.
