Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts and it is also one of my favorite recipes to play with. I have made cheesecakes with apples, blueberries, chocolate, caramel, peanut butter, white chocolate, butterscotch, toffee…and the list goes on. However, until today, I had not made a cheesecake with coffee.
As a general rule I’m not particularly fond of coffee – at least as a beverage. When I do drink coffee it has so much cream, sugar and flavored syrup in it that I’m really not sure you could even call it coffee anymore. That being said, it probably isn’t that strange that I love coffee ice cream, mocha ice cream, a little bit of coffee in my hot chocolate or even mocha flavored candy. While I was growing up it wasn’t unusual for me to choose coffee milk even over chocolate milk as my beverage of choice.
So I got to thinking…why not a mocha cheesecake? I can’t claim it is a completely original idea, but this recipe is my version so follow along and I’ll introduce you to my interpretation of mocha cheesecake…
