Coffee cheesecake with mocha cream frosting
This beautiful baked coffee cheesecake is any coffee lover's dream dessert! An Oreo base, with coffee cheesecake, topped with dark chocolate ganache and a Mocha cream cheese frosting, this cheesecake is a showstopper and pure indulgence.
The recipe is very straightforward and simple, you need a good quality of coffee and cream cheese and you will have the most delicious baked coffee cheesecake.
This cheesecake was loved by my boys at home, although my husband isn’t a coffee dessert lover like me he still said this was the best coffee flavour dessert he has had. I loved how the different layers all come together so well, the dark chocolate ganache breaks down the coffee taste, and the subtle mocha cream frosting on top makes it even more delicious.
I created this recipe last Christmas for DeLonghi as a partnership. I made the cheesecake with the coffee using my La Specialista Arte coffee machine, which makes the best coffee ever. The perfect espresso for the perfect coffee.
Few things to keep in mind for this cheesecake,
- Always have your cream cheese at room temperature
- Eggs at room temperature too
- You can use instant coffee as well, make sure to use as much quantity as a single espresso shot.
- Always use full fat cream cheese for the cheesecake otherwise it will not be as creamy.
- Make sure to use the best quality of dark chocolate for the ganache, I have used Lindt Dark cooking 70 percent intense.
