Ingredients:

The Ultimate Café Mocha Cheesecake

For the Crust:

1½ cups Graham crackers or shortbread crumbs
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

For the Filling:

1 pound cream cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
4 eggs
Third cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons Joffrey's brewed strong black coffee
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For the Topping:

1 cup sour cream
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS:

Line a 9-inch spring form cake pan with foil and lightly greases the sides.

For the Crust:

Combine the cracker or shortbread crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl, then stir in the melted butter. Press the mixture into the base of the prepared pan. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

For the Filling:

Place the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, cocoa powder, and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the sugar, coffee, and cinnamon and continue to beat for 10 minutes or until the mixture is combined. Pour into the crust-lined pan and bake for 1 hour, or until just firm to touch. Allow the cake to stand for 5 minutes before spreading on the topping.

To Serve:

Run a knife around the edge of the pan and gently remove the sides.
