Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for crust
  • 32 oz cream cheese softened (4 packages)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar for filling
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee cooled
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee granules optional
  • chocolate shavings or caramel sauce optional topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/2 cup sugar until combined.
  2. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add flour and mix until incorporated.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Mix in sour cream, brewed coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. If desired, stir in instant coffee granules for a stronger coffee flavor.
  8. Pour filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  10. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. Remove from springform pan before serving. Garnish with chocolate shavings or caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cracks. Cheesecake slices cleanly when chilled overnight.
