Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
  • 3 packages cream cheese, softened (8 ounce each)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a sturdy crust.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
Making the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Pour in the cooled brewed coffee and add the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.
Baking
  1. Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
  2. Bake the cheesecake for about 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center still slightly jiggles.
  3. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature.
Chilling
  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Notes

For a lighter version, consider using low-fat cream cheese. Avoid overmixing the eggs to prevent cracks. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for later enjoyment.
