I've made this cheesecake twice. It's a little more time consuming than some cheesecakes but it turns out perfectly and all the people I've served it to just rave about it. Awesome recipe!

This absolutely one of the best recipes I have ever made. So easy and is fantastic. Girls, if you're looking for the perfect cheesecake, your search is over. I bought chocolate covered coffee beans for the top, like the picture. We have a candy store that carries them.

This is an outrageously good recipe and I would make it again and again. In fact, it's the type of cheesecake that gets better after it sits a day or two. Here are some tips. #1-Try using Newman's Own Organic Chocolate Alphabet Cookies, 7 oz. bag. That was the perfect amount for the 1 1/2 cups needed for the crust and the taste is pure and excellent. #2-Make sure your instant coffee granules are fresh, otherwise you may experience clumping, which happened to me today. #3-Definitely bake the cake for a solid hour, if not an hour and five minutes. #4-Avoid overbeating the filling. I did this as well and now the cake is flatter and more heavy looking than previous times I have made it. I think this happened because I forgot to lightly beat the eggs before pouring them into the cream cheese mixture. #5-I struggled to recall the measurement for half the cream cheese mixture at the point where you set aside some for the coffee part and the chocolate part. I think if you measure out three cups, you will be safe. I measured out two for the mocha part and thought that my cake came out looking predominantly chocolate versus a half and half chocolate and mocha. Hope you learn from my mistakes. This cake really is totally worth it and the chocolate covered coffee beans on top make it look really top shelf!

Not a fan of cinnamon, so I made without and it still came out great. Will definitely make again.

This was my very first cheesecake I had made. I took it into work for my coworkers and they loved it! Turns out I'm pretty good at making cheesecake!

Possibly the best cheesecake I have ever made AND tasted (even from a restaurant). Unreal and tastes better each day aged. Also, I used the lightest kind of cream cheese no name brand and it is STILL amazing! Mocha layer is fab. I used bourbon cookies (with icing) for crust and it was amazing--maybe better than oreo. CRAZY GOOD!
