Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups Vanilla Wafer Crumbs
• 1/2 cup Butter, melted
• 3 containers (24 oz.) Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Whiskey or Whiskey flavoring
• 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 4 Eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup strong brewed Coffee
• 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips
• Whipped Cream and Chocolate Shavings, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a small bowl, combine the Vanilla Wafer crumbs and melted Butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. In a large bowl, beat the Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese and Sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the Whiskey or Whiskey flavoring and Cocoa Powder, mixing until combined.
4. Beat in the Eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
5. Finally, mix in the Heavy Cream and Vanilla Extract until combined. Pour the filling into the crust.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
7. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. To make the Cafe Mocha topping, combine the strong brewed Coffee and Chocolate Chips in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined. Let cool for a few minutes before pouring over the cheesecake.
9. Garnish with Whipped Cream and Chocolate Shavings before serving.
