Mix together to make crumbs for crust:
1 1/2 c chocolate cookie crumbs
6 T butter or margarine, melted
For the filling:
1 1/4 c Hersheys mini kisses, semi sweet, divided
4 packages cream cheese, softened
2/3 c sugar
3 eggs
1/3 c milk
1 T instant espresso or coffee powder
1/4 t. cinnamon
Melt 1 c chocolate kisses. Mix cream cheese and sugar. Add next four ingredients and mix. Add melted chocolate. Spoon into crust. Bake 55 minutes @ 350 (my sister, Beth, who is the cheesecake pro says she bakes hers 10 minutes longer than this). Cool for 15 minutes. Loosen from pan with a knife. Cool completely. Remove from pan. Cover and refrigerate at least four hours.
Espresso cream:
1/2 c cool whip
1/2 tsp instant coffee
Mix together and use a cake decorating set to garnish the top with espresso cream. Add the remaining kisses or broken pirouettes, milano cookies, or candybar pieces.
Who wants to bake for me?
That looks scrummy!!!!! Make some for me too, I am not an expert at making cheesecakes!!!
that looks divine! I love to make cheesecakes and will have to remember that one for next time I have a longing for cheesecake!
I want to make it and you can eat it…I think I need to bookmark this page.
Is that sweet?
Too bad I’m trying to stay away from sweets this week. Make it and eat some for me. If I make it I will eat some.
Michelle, I will do the baking if you clean up!! 🙂 I love cheesecake, and I love making them… I want to try out this recipe!
This was not a good post for someone who is in a dieting slump. At least pictures don’t hurt me…\”/
