Ingredients:

  • 2 tblspns unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup icing sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • filling
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder -- please see note below
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • topping
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tblspn coffee liqueur

Directions:

  1. Crust:-
  2. Sift together the flour & cocoa powder - set aside
  3. Place the butter & icing sugar in the small bowl of an electric mixer & mix on low speed for 1 min. & then on med/high for about 3 mins until thoroughly combined & soft
  4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl & the beaters
  5. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl & the beaters
  6. On low speed gradually add the flour/cocoa mixture & mix until the dough comes together
  7. Remove dough from the mixer & shape into a cylinder
  8. Divide the dough into 9 equal slices
  9. Flatten each slice & place on a lightly floured surface & roll into a 3 1/4 circle with a floured rolling pin
  10. Gently press the circles of dough into 9 cups of a muffin pan ( cups should measure 3 in diameter. The dough should be level with the top edge of the cups - set aside
  11. Filling:-
  12. Pre-heat oven to 275 dgrees.
  13. Place the baking chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave & melt, taking care not to burn it. Stir till smooth
  14. Place the cream cheese ( cut into smaller pieces) & the sugar in the small bowl of the mixer
  15. Mix on low for 30 secs & then med/high for 2 mins. Scrape down the sides of the bowl & the beaters & beat for an additional 3 mins until smooth & thick
  16. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl & the beaters
  17. Add the espresso powder & beat on med till well combined
  18. Add the melted chocolate & the vanilla & mix to well combine
  19. Divide equally between the dough lined muffin cups
  20. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 45 mins
  21. The filling will rise above the tops of the dough & will feel firm when cooked
  22. Cool in the pans for 20 mins. The tops of the filling will sink slightly as it is cooling
  23. Carefully remove the cheesecakes from the pan & cool completely on wire racks
  24. Topping:-
  25. Place the cream cheese (cut into smaller pieces) & the icing sugar in the small mixer bowl & beat on low speed for about 30 sec & then on medium speed for about 2 mins until soft & thick
  26. Add the coffee liqueur & mix until very smooth
  27. Divide the topping between the 9 cheesecakes
  28. Can sprinkle the tops with MINI semi-sweet choc. chips or top each with a choc. covered coffee bean
  29. These cheesecakes store well in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days
  30. NOTE:- When I made these I did not have any espresso powder. I have a very small food processor that I use to grind nuts. I put a rich blend of good instant coffee in it & ground it to a powder & used 1 tsp of this in place of the 1/2 tsp espresso powder & it worked just as well
