Coffee and Chocolate Cheesecake!

Culinary climax! Coffee, chocolate and cheesecake all in one place - there oughta be a law against it.

COFFEE AND CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
2/3 cup hot, but not boiling, water
4 Tbsp coarsely ground high roast coffee
1 stick unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
2 cups crushed chocolate-coated cookies
1/4 cup superfine sugar plus 1 tsp
1 Tbsp boining water
1 cup cream cheese
2 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups sour cream

Pour the hot water (not boiling) onto the coffee - allow it to sit for 10 minutes.

Lightly butter a deep 8″ springform pan.

Melt the butter in a pan, then stir the crushed cookies and 1 tsp of sugar into the melted butter. Press the mixture evenly and halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Chill the pan until it’s called for again.

Sprinkle the gelatin over the boiling water, stir well. Allow to sit for 3 - 4 minutes.

Beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth, then beat in the egg yolks and the remaining sugar. Strain the coffee into the mixture through a fine seive, whisk thoroughly, then whisk in the sour cream.

Stir the gelatin to ensure that it has dissolved completely. Stir in a little of the coffee mixture.

Whisk the gelatin into the coffee mixture.

Pour into the chilled pan and chill again for 2 - 3 hours, until set.

Slice. Call Joi. Enjoy.
