Dark Chocolate Mocha Cheesecake image

This is very similar to recipe #414264, but I've altered the ingredients somewhat and include how to make the fun chocolate leaves to put on top. It's a snap to pull together with your mixer and doubles beautifully so you can gift one or freeze one for the future. I don't remember the recipe's providence, but EVERYONE, short of small children, loves this divine dessert.

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 cheesecake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups chocolate cookies, finely crushed
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, 80 g (70% cocoa if possible)
16 ounces cream cheese, softened (about 500 g)
4 eggs, room temp
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee (decaf works fine)
2 -3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 ounce dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Butter sides & bottom of an 8" springform pan.
  • Combine cookie crumbs, butter & sugar in mixer.
  • Press mixture evenly onto pan bottom.
  • Melt chocolate in double-boiler & stir smooth.
  • Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add eggs, one at a time.
  • Gradually add sugar, mixing well until blended.
  • Add melted chocolate, coffee & stir to blend.
  • Turn mixture into prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350° (180°C) for 1 hour or until center is almost set. Firms when chilled.
  • Cool on counter for 45 min., cover & chill overnight.
  • Remove pan sides. Sprinkle with powdered sugar from a sieve to prettify and decorate with chocolate leaves (see below.).
  • CHOCOLATE LEAVES:.
  • Melt chocolate in double-boiler.
  • Brush on cleaned & dried fresh leaves (Ficus work well).
  • Place on small, paper-lined pan & freeze overnight.
  • Peel leaves & put back in the freezer until time to place on cake & serve.
  • HINT: leave stem on each leaf to hold onto as you brush on the melted chocolate. Be generous with the chocolate - too thin a layer and the leaf crumbles when you try to peel it. Pile them artfully in center or however you want and they just take the cake!

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I loved this cheesecake! The coffee flavor really mellowed out the chocolate.
