Cappuccino Cheesecake

Coffee and dessert, all in one!

Makes 12–16 servings

2tablespoons instant espresso powder

1⁄2cup half-and-half cooking spray

3tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in 1⁄2-inch pieces

21⁄2 cups granulated sugar, divided

3⁄4cup all-purpose flour

1⁄4cup unsweetened cocoa

1⁄2teaspoon cinnamon

1⁄4teaspoon baking powder

1⁄8teaspoon salt

1 large egg yolk

16ounces cream cheese (regular), at room temperature

16ounces lowfat cream cheese, at room temperature

4large eggs, not cold from refrigerator*

2tablespoons cornstarch

2teaspoons vanilla extract

chocolate curls for garnish, optional

In a small bowl dissolve the espresso powder in the half-and-half; reserve. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9 x 3-inch springform or cheesecake pan with cooking spray.

Place the butter and 1⁄4 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl. Mix on Speed 2 to cream, 11⁄2 minutes. Add flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; mix on Speed 1 until combined, 30

seconds. Add egg yolk and mix on Speed 1 until crumbly, 15 seconds. Press into bottom of prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, until slightly puffed (crust may have cracked appearance – that is normal). Place on a rack to cool. When the pan is cool to touch, wrap a sheet of aluminum foil around the bottom and sides of the pan so that it comes up at least 2 inches.

Place cream cheeses and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat on Speed 1 until combined and smooth, 2 minutes. Using Speed 1, add eggs, one at a time, mixing for 15 seconds after each addition. Scrape the bowl. Add corn- starch; mix on Speed 1, 20 seconds. Scrape the bowl. Add half-and-half mixture and vanilla, mix on Speed 1 until smooth and completely combined.

Pour the mixture over the cooled crust. Place the pan in a larger aluminum pan and place in the oven; add enough hot water to the outer pan so that it is

1⁄2-inch deep. Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 60–70 minutes, until the cheesecake is pulling away from the sides of the pan; the center will be jig- gly. Remove from the oven, remove the foil and let cool completely on a rack.

Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
