Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, Hemp Hearts, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture onto the bottom of a prepared 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue beating until well combined.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped pecans and melted butter. Fold this mixture into the cream cheese batter.
6. Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
9. While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the caramel macchiato topping. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, heavy cream, and instant coffee granules. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute and then remove from heat.
10. Pour the caramel macchiato topping over the cooled cheesecake, spreading it evenly.
11. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
