Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until evenly moistened, then press firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create a compact crust. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water), melt the chopped semisweet chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. (10 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and cornstarch with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually blend in the coffee liqueur until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Gently fold about 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture into the slightly cooled melted chocolate until combined. Then, pour the chocolate mixture back into the remaining cream cheese mixture and gently fold until just combined and no streaks remain. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared cookie crumb crust in the springform pan. (2 minutes)

08

Step
1 hrs

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges of the cheesecake are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. (60 minutes)

09

Step
1 hrs

Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking. (60 minutes)

10

Step
4 hrs

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely to room temperature. Then, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set completely. (240 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the cream cheese mixture.
Be careful not to overbake the cheesecake, as it will continue to set as it cools.
If your springform pan tends to leak, wrap the bottom with foil before baking to prevent any batter from seeping out.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder before serving for an elegant presentation.
