Espresso Bean Cheesecake Recipes

ESPRESSO BEAN CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 300° Fahrenheit.
• Pour cream into a 1-2 quart saucepan and mix with the coffee grounds.
• Bring cream just to a simmer and remove from heat. Cover and let the mixture steep for 1 hour.
• Pour cream mixture into a fine strainer (I use a reusable coffee filter), pressing to extract liquid (the finer grind will pass through); discard residue.
• While waiting for the cream mixture to steep, use a food processor to grind the cookies into fine crumbs. Pour into a medium bowl.
• Add the butter to the cookie crumbs and mix well, mixture will be crumbly but just beginning to stick together.
• Pour the cookie crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Press it into the bottom and about halfway up the sides.
• In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until smooth.
• Beat in cream mixture and vanilla.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture into the crust-lined pan and bake at 300° until center barely jiggles when cake is gently shaken, about 1 hour.
• Run a thin-bladed knife between cake and pan rim.
• Refrigerate cake for at least three hours or up to two days.

ESPRESSO MARTINI CHEESECAKE FOR 2 RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease 2 4-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper rounds and spray again. Wrap the outsides of the pans tightly with foil.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the vanilla cookies, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon instant espresso, and the melted butter. Pulse to combine until the texture is similar to wet sand.
• Divide the cookie crumbs between the prepared pans and use a small, flat-bottomed cup to press into an even layer against the bottoms.
• Bake the crusts until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and ⅓ cup of sugar. Using a stiff rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Add the mascarpone, flour, salt, and vanilla bean seeds and continue mixing until completely smooth. Add the egg and mix until fully combined, smooth, and creamy.
• In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, remaining tablespoon of instant espresso, and 1 tablespoon boiling water. Use a whisk to vigorously whip until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes.
• Add half of the cream cheese mixture to the espresso cream and gently fold to combine.
• Scoop some of the plain cream cheese filling over each cooled crust, followed by some of the espresso filling. Continue alternating until all of the filling is used. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the batters together.
• Place the springform pans in a small, high-walled baking dish and pour in boiling water to reach a depth of ½ inch, taking care not to splash any water onto the cheesecakes. Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven. Bake until the cheesecakes are almost firm, with the slightest jiggle in the centers, about 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecakes rest inside with the door closed for 30 minutes.
• Remove the springform pans from the baking dish and unwrap the foil. Place the cheesecakes in the refrigerator uncovered for 1 hour.
• Release the springform pans. Transfer the cheesecakes to plates and garnish with berries and chocolate-covered espresso beans.
• Enjoy!

ESPRESSO CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine chocolate wafers, almonds and butter. Press mixture evenly onto bottom and 2 inches up side of 9 inch springform pan; refrigerate.
• In small saucepan, combine chocolate, water and espresso powder. Cook and stir over low heat until chocolate starts to melt. Remove from heat; stir until smooth. Stir in liqueur; cool.
• In large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla on medium speed until smooth. Add eggs, beating on lowest mixer speed, just until blended (do not over beat). Reserve 2 cups cream cheese mixture; set aside. Stir cooled chocolate mixture into remaining cream cheese mixture, stirring just until combined; pour into crust.
• Place pan on baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven until edge is set and center is soft set (about 30 minutes). Carefully pour reserved filling mixture around edge of cheesecake; gently spread evenly over entire surface. Continue baking until center appears nearly set (20-25 minutes). Cool on wire rack 10 minutes.
• Using a thin knife, carefully loosen side of cheesecake from pan.
• Cool 30 minutes more; remove side of pan. Refrigerate, covered, 4 hours or overnight.
