Ingredients:
For the Crust:
– 1 ½ cups of chocolate cookie crumbs
– ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
– 24 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup sugar
– 3 eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– ⅓ cup Kahlua coffee liqueur
– 1 cup Caramilk chocolate, chopped
For the Topping:
– 1 cup sour cream
– ¼ cup sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter for the crust. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, creating an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and Kahlua until thoroughly combined.
4. Gently fold in the chopped Caramilk chocolate, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake batter.
5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
6. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set. The edges of the cheesecake may start to lightly brown.
7. While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until well combined.
8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and carefully spread the sour cream topping over the hot cheesecake. Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
9. Once baked, let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
10. When ready to serve, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into portions. Enjoy each bite of the velvety smooth Kahlua and Caramilk flavors melded in each decadent bite.
