Ingredients:

• Cinnamon Roll Base:
• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


• Vanilla Filling:
• 2 containers (16 oz) Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract


• Mocha Latte Topping:
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.


2. Cinnamon Roll Base:
3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon together until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan, and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.


4. Vanilla Filling:
5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and continue beating until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, until mixture is creamy and smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Pour the cheesecake batter onto the cooled crust.
6. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and just barely jiggles in the center. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door closed for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.


7. Mocha Latte Topping:
8. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream and butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture just begins to bubble.
9. Remove from heat and stir in semisweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
10. Add instant coffee granules to the mixture and stir until well combined.
11. Pour the glaze over the chilled cheesecake and spread evenly. Return to the refrigerator and chill until the topping sets, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.


12. After the topping has set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice and serve.
