MOCHA BLANCA CHEESECAKE



Mocha Blanca Cheesecake image

This recipe is for the serious cheesecake lover. It is very rich and definitely not low fat. It is best to prepare for dinner guests where a little slice will go a long way. I prefer to make it without the topping, but it is just as good with it. The longer you are able to refrigerate it before serving the better it gets. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 19

2-1/2 cups graham-cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons melted butter
8 oz. (1-1/3 cups) semisweet chocolate chips
2 tsp. instant coffee
1 tsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla extract

If desired, garnish top of cheesecake with drizzle of melted dark chocolate, orange candy, chocolate-covered espresso beans and orange zest.
