Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, crushed with filling)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup brewed strong coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for topping)
  • Whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the bottom with foil to prepare for a water bath.
  2. In a bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat until well combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Then mix in sour cream, vanilla, and coffee until smooth.
  5. Divide batter in half. Stir melted chocolate into one half and mix well.
  6. Pour the coffee cheesecake batter over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter on top and gently swirl with a knife. Drizzle in half the caramel sauce and swirl again.
  7. Place pan in a large roasting dish and fill halfway with hot water. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake sit for 1 hour. Then remove and cool completely before refrigerating at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, drizzle with remaining caramel sauce and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth filling.
  • To prevent cracking, avoid overmixing and use a water bath.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days, covered.
