Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • Removable-bottom cake pan (20 cm)
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 150 g vanilla cookies (Lincoln type)
  • 50 g melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons bitter cocoa powder
  • 400 g semi-sweet chocolate
  • 300 g cream cheese (like Philadelphia)
  • 45 g sugar
  • 2 tablespoons liquid coffee
  • 350 g whipping cream

Instructions

  • Crush the vanilla cookies into crumbs and mix with cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 20 cm removable mold and chill in the fridge.
  • Melt the chocolate gently using a microwave or double boiler.
  • Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and coffee in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Fold the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture carefully.
  • Whip the cream in another bowl until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the chocolate mixture.
  • Pour the filling onto the chilled base and smooth it out with a spatula.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight if possible.
  • Before serving, decorate with toppings like ganache or fresh berries, and then slice and serve.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending. Don't skip the chilling step; it's essential for the texture of the cheesecake. Feel free to experiment with different toppings to suit your taste or the occasion. This cheesecake can also be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3–4 days, or frozen for longer storage. Enjoy!
