Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Fudge Swirl

  • 3/4 cup chocolate fudge sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a bowl, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form a sturdy base. Chill the crust while preparing the filling.
  2. Whip the cream cheese filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and espresso powder, mixing until well incorporated and aromatic.
  3. Add eggs and cream: Beat in the eggs one at a time to maintain filling smoothness, followed by the heavy cream to achieve that luscious, silky texture required for perfect cheesecake.
  4. Pour and swirl with fudge: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust. Drizzle half the fudge sauce on top, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge into the batter for a marbled effect. Repeat with the remaining batter and fudge sauce.
  5. Bake and cool: Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) until the edges are set but the center slightly jiggles, approximately 50-60 minutes. Cool it gradually at room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight to fully set and develop flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smoother batter without lumps.
  • Mix just enough to combine ingredients to avoid excess air, which can cause cracks.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent cracks and maintain a silky texture.
  • Use high-quality espresso powder for the richest coffee flavor.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill long enough to set completely and improve sliceability.
