- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 2 containers Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese (16 oz total)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup espresso or strongly brewed coffee
- 1/4 cup Kahlua
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl, combine the cinnamon roll crumbs and melted butter until fully mixed. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the espresso or coffee and Kahlua until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake batter carefully onto the crust and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- For the fudge brownie topping, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool until thickened slightly.
- Carefully pour the fudge brownie topping over the chilled cheesecake and let it set in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
