Cappuccino Cheesecake

This is a great recipe. The flavor is out of this world with a creamy consistency and I have to say better than any store bought cheese cake. I leave out the chocolate chips, because they have a tendency to sink to the bottom. (maybe coating with flour would keep this from happening). I'm making this again today with a shortbread crust because I don't have any graham crackers on hand. It's a wonderful and decadent treat that I MUST spoil myself with from time to time. Tip: Don't over mix this or it will crack and bake until the very center is still just a tiny bit jiggly.

I made this a few wks ago following instructions to the t. It was my first cheesecake ever. The flavor & texture was great, but it was not pretty (had alot of craters). I topped it with fresh strawberries & I made a sauce with preserves & cornstarch. The topping complimented it. I am baking this again tonight with a few alterations: i used fat free cream cheese, added cocoa to coffee & cream, and put eggs last. I also baked it in a "bath" and lowered baking temp to 325 to see if i can reduce cracking- so far it looks better-we'll see how it turns out...

This was my first time EVER to make a cheesecake... mine didn't look that pretty... it sank in the middle (not sure how to avoid that), but my husband and dinner guests RAVED about it saying it was the best cheesecake ever. My husband's only complaint was he did not like the chocolate chips, so next time I'll just leave those out. I made my Chocolate Vodka Sauce and poured it on top. A big hit!!

I made this for fathersday and everyone raved about it being better than the cheesecake shops , THANKYOU !! . I did substitute chocolate biscuits for the crust and alas I forgot to add the chocolate chips of all things, but it was phenomenal just the same. Thanks again !

Wonderful cheesecake! I made this for my son's birthday and everyone thought it was as good as a pastry shop cheesecake. I used chocolate crumbs for the crust, but otherwise followed the recipe. Next time I would use mini chocolate chips instead of the regular ones - I found the larger chunks a bit too much for me, (although no else did!) I'll be making this one again.

Out of the dozens of cheesecake recipes I have tried, this is hands down my favorite so far. Thick, creamy, and great flavor. The only thing I changed was to use 9 graham crackers in the crust and top it with a layer of vanilla flavored whipped cream and a ring of coffee beans. Also, when I smacked the pan down to release air bubbles, all the chocolate chips fell to the bottom making a delicious layer above the crust. This is a lovely recipe.

This was a very yummy cheesecake! Husband loved it! I followed directions to the tee. I rated it a 4 because my graham crust crumbled... Will try again though. I used mini semi-sweet chocolage chips and they were perfect litle choco surprises!

I made this for a friend's birthday and it turned out great! Could not have asked for anything better! I always thought cheesecake was hard to make but turns out not to be. Thanks

I was asked to take a dessert to a dinner party and this turned out great. I used Light Hot Chocolate powder in the crust instead of sugar, 2 packs light cream cheese and 2 regular and fat-free sour cream instead of cream. I forgot to add the flour and the texture was perfect! I didn't have a springform pan and made it in a rectangular glass dish. When it was completely cooled down, I cut it into little squares and arranged it on a serving platter. With a potato peeler I shaved beautiful chocolate curls off a chocolate bar - it looked and tasted stunning!

WOW! DELICIOUS! Thank you! I cut the recipe to 3 servings (I only had one egg in the fridge) and baked it in an 8 inch cake pan for 25 minutes. This made a short 2 inch high cake (I did it by mistake, but the short little thing was cute!). Then I covered the top and sides with a thin layer of chocolate ganache :) YUM! A trick to free your cake from pans that are not springform is to criss-cross 4 long strips of parchment paper in the pan (both sides of each strip should be hanging over the edges of the pan)and press your crust right on top of them. Follow whatever recipe your using, and cool in the fridge for the time specified. When its time to take it out of the pan, wiggle and shimmy both ends (one with each hand) of each strip. Then hold the ends of two close by strips (two ends in each hand) and lift the cake out (have your serving plate close by!). If you have some extra hands in the kitchen, they can grab the other strips :) Sounds weird, but it works! Thanks for the great recipe yooper!!

I made this as my mom's birthday cake. She loved it. I didn't want a whole cheesecake, however, so I tweaked it by making enough crust for the bottom and sides of a 9" shallow pie plate (a little more than half). I halved the filling ingredients, and baked for 30 minutes. ('Twas a little overdone so I recommend less time.)

I loved this recipe!! I prepared it the night before for a dinner party that I attended. I decide to substitute chocolate graham crackers in the crust and it turned out beautifully. I also decided to drizzle melted chocolate on top of the melted cake rather than the curls to aid in transport (okay, and to hide the fact that the top cracked a bit). All in all, this was a wonderful recipe.

Awesome cake, so I was told by my boss and colleagues at work function. Pretty much followed the recipe, I used Nescafe instant coffee granules. Instead of 8 graham crackers, I used 10 i.e the number that comes by pack, pointless to leave 2 just hanging out in a zip lock bag I did change the topping, instead of chocolate curls, I drizzled Lee Lee's Famous Chocolate Sauce 19678. All I heard from my colleagues was hmmmmmmmsss and wows. Thank you for an awesome posting, Yooper
