Cappuccino Cheesecake
It will be difficult for coffee lovers to
resist this luscious, creamy cappuccino
cheesecake in a cinnamon scented
chocolate cookie crust.
Preparation: 20 minutes, plus baking times
Makes 12 – 16 servings
Cooking spray
2
tablespoons instant espresso powder
1/2 cup half-and-half
3 tablespoons unsalted butter,
cut in 1/2-inch pieces
2-1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg yolk
16 ounces cream cheese (regular),
at room temperature
16 ounces low-fat cream cheese,
at room temperature
4 large eggs *
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate curls for garnish, optional
In a small bowl, dissolve the espresso
powder in the half-and-half; reserve.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly coat a 9
x 3 inch springform or cheesecake pan
with cooking spray.
Place the butter and 1/4 cup of the
sugar in a medium bowl. Mix on speed
3 to cream, 1-1/2 minutes. Add flour,
cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder, and
salt; mix on speed 1 until combined, 30
seconds. Add egg yolk and mix on
speed 1 until crumbly, 15 seconds.
Press into bottom of prepared pan.
Bake in preheated 350° F oven for 10
minutes, until slightly puffed (crust may
have cracked appearance, which is nor-
mal). Place on a rack to cool. When the
pan is cool to touch, wrap a sheet of
aluminum foil around the bottom and
sides of the pan so that it comes up at
least 2 inches.
Place cream cheeses and sugar in a
large mixing bowl. Beat on speed 2 until
combined and smooth, 2 minutes.
Using speed 1, add eggs, one at a time,
mixing for 15 seconds after each addi-
tion. Scrape the bowl. Add cornstarch;
mix on speed 1 for 20 seconds. Scrape
the bowl. Add half-and-half mixture and
vanilla extract, mix on speed 2 until
smooth and completely combined. Pour
the mixture over the cooled crust. Place
the pan in a larger aluminum pan and
place in the oven; add enough hot
water to the outer pan so that it is 1/2-
inch deep. Bake in the preheated 350°
F oven for 60 to 70 minutes, until the
cheesecake is pulling away from the
sides of the pan; the center will be jig-
gly. Remove from the oven, remove the
foil, and let cool completely on a rack.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours before
serving. Garnish with chocolate curls
if desired.
