Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (e.g., Oreo, without filling)

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Coffee Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder (or strong instant coffee)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream, cold

Optional Toppings:

  • Whipped cream

  • Dark chocolate shavings

  • Cocoa powder or espresso powder, for dusting

  • Chocolate-covered coffee beans

Instructions

  • Prepare muffin pan: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or use silicone molds for easy removal.

  • Make crust: In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until moistened. Press about 1 tbsp mixture into the bottom of each liner. Chill in fridge while making filling.

  • Make filling: Dissolve espresso powder in 1 tsp hot water; let cool. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and dissolved coffee. Mix until fully combined.

  • Whip cream: In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cheesecake mixture until smooth and fluffy.

  • Assemble: Spoon or pipe filling over chilled crusts, smoothing the tops. Tap pan lightly to release air bubbles.

  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.

  • Top and serve: Just before serving, add whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa/espresso powder as desired.

Notes

  • For a mocha twist, fold in a few tablespoons of melted dark chocolate.

  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Perfect for making ahead for parties!
