With a chocolate cookie crust, coffee-flavored filling and a cocoa dusting, this cheesecake is as stunning as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 20 creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, finely chopped (about 1 ½ cups/ 375 mL)
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) butter, melted
- 3 pkgs (8 oz/250 g) cream cheese
- 1 cup (250 mL) sugar

- ½ tsp (2 mL) cinnamon
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
- 1 cup (250 mL) sour cream
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup (125 mL) cold brew coffee
- Optional: cocoa powder for dusting
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F(160°C). Lightly grease the 9" (23-cm) Springform Pan with oil. Mix the cookie crumbs and butter in a small pour. Pour into the pan and press the crumbs into the bottom of pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes; remove from oven.
- Add the cream cheese to the Deluxe Stand Mixer and set to BEAT for 45 seconds, press start. Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt to the cream cheese; beat for another 45 seconds. Add the sour cream and eggs. Set to MIX for 1 minute. Add the coffee and mix for an additional 1 minute. Pour the filling over the crust.
- Fill a large baking pan with water and place on the lower rack in the oven. Place the cheesecake on the upper rack.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center appears nearly set when gently shaken. Turn the oven off and keep the cheesecake in the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Remove from oven to a cooling rack. Loosen the collar of the pan and allow it to cool for 2 hours then refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder before serving, if you’d like.
