• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a bowl, combine the cinnamon roll crumbs and melted butter until fully mixed. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

4. Mix in the espresso or coffee and Kahlua until fully combined.
5. Pour the cheesecake batter carefully onto the crust and spread it evenly.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set.
7. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
8. 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.
9. Carefully pour the fudge brownie topping over the chilled cheesecake and let it set in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
