This is one of my favorites. IT was soooo good. I used Starbucks via in the cheesecake. You definitely want to make this. Yummy!

I've made & given this recipe out multiples of times ! It's always a family & friend favorite. I also find that i can omit the coffee & add cocoa powder & almond extract & make it a chocolate lovers cheesecake as well.

I know Bopps said she doesn't even like coffee but she likes this cheesecake. Well, I REALLY don't like coffee! Does anyone know if you HAVE to put the instant coffee in here?

This is a fabulous cheesecake. I made it exactly as the recipe calls for and it came out perfect. It does not need any tweaking to it.

This is the most amazing recipe. I did have some trouble getting the middle to cook. I will cook it longer the next time but it was so good. I did even serve it partially frozen. YUMMY!!!

I actually made a second ocheesecake several days after the first one; I cut the butter in the crust in 1/2. Just as yummy as the first one!

This is wonderful! I served it at our annual after Thanksgiving progressive dinner. What surprised me was even the kids begged for more! I made it ahead of time, covered it well and froze it for a week. I then thawed for a couple of hours before serving and it came out perfect. I melted the chocolate bar and mixed with a little heavy cream and drizzled over frozen cheesecake while it thawed.

I have never made a cheesecake this way and hesitated to do it, but I had bought all the ingrediants and decided to go for it. When I posted it on my Facebook, I got comments like "It looks like it's from a bakery". Mine looked just like the picture! Other than that it was fabulous and the hit of our Thanksgiving dinner. I'm ready to make it again for my bridge group and expect it to be just as good. A hint from my daughter, put a tiny bit of Crisco into the chocolate and it drizzles right off the spoon.
