A rich and creamy coffee cheesecake featuring a smooth coffee-infused cream cheese filling set atop a crunchy graham cracker crust. This classic dessert combines the bold flavor of coffee with the velvety texture of cheesecake, perfect for coffee lovers looking for a decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and continue beating. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in brewed coffee and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Assemble and bake: Pour the coffee cream cheese filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  4. Chill: Remove cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to let it set fully before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor; instant coffee can be substituted but may alter taste and texture.
  • Do not overbake; slight jiggle in the center ensures a creamy texture after chilling.
  • For easier removal, run a knife around the edges before releasing the springform pan.
  • Garnish with whipped cream or coffee powder for an elegant presentation.
