Cheesecake Challenge #5: Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake

This time I tried out the Chocolate Espresso variety, from UseRealButter.com:

It turned out pretty good! I want to compare it to my mom's chocolate cheesecake recipe, which could possibly just use the espresso (she uses Amaretto), but it was tasty. Just needed more kick.

I didn't take a picture. It wasn't very pretty. I need to work on that....

Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake


24 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup Sugar
3 large Eggs
1 cup Heavy Cream
4.5 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, melted
1 T. Espresso Powder
1 T boiling Water
1 T Vanilla
1 T Kahlua

1. Preheat oven to 350. Cream cream cheese and sugar, and then add eggs one at a time until mixed.
2. Mix espresso and water. Continue to whisk/cream, and add cream, melted chocolate, espresso, vanilla, and Kahlua.
3. Pour into a prepared pan (with appropriate crust). Place in oven in water bath and bake for 45-55 minutes. Allow to cool in oven with oven off and then refrigerate overnight.
