  • Mocha Crust: In a small bowl, mix the crushed cookies, cocoa powder, and instant coffee. Add the melted butter or margarine until well combined. Press the mixture into a previously greased springform pan (approximately 22 centimeters). Set aside.
  • Mocha Filling: In a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar, and cornstarch. Add the eggs and yolk, one by one, mixing well before each addition. Add the whipped cream.
  • Mix the instant coffee with the hot water. Add to the cream cheese mixture. Add the melted chocolate. Pour the mixture over the cookie crust.
  • Bake at 176°C for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 93°C and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the center no longer looks wet or shiny. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan. Turn off the oven; return the cheesecake to the oven for 30 more minutes. Let it rest, uncovered, overnight.
  • Chocolate Frosting: In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate with the butter or margarine over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in the instant coffee. Spread the hot chocolate mixture over the cheesecake. Let it rest until serving time. You can cut between 12 and 18 slices.
