Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup heavy cream

¼ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional, for a stronger coffee flavor)

Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a solid crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

    Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

      Add the liquids: Gradually mix in the brewed coffee, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder (if using) to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to beat until well combined and smooth.

        Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream—this keeps the cheesecake light and airy.

          Assemble the cheesecake: Spoon the mocha cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the countertop to release any air bubbles.

            Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.

              Serve: Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish the top of the cheesecake with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
