If you are a coffee lover, take your caffeine addiction to a whole new level with this cheesecake. A simple cookie crust with a creamy coffee spiked filling and some luscious whipped cream on top, this is like a delicious coffee hug in these cold winter nights. I’m not sure if I say this every winter, but this year I really do feel like curling up inside my blanket and never coming out. School holidays are about to begin next week and I’m actually looking forward to sleeping in. Talking about holidays, it is the perfect time to whip up some new creations so I’m looking forward to that too. Is there anything you want me to create or perhaps see in this space"

If you’ve been with me for a while, you know  that I’m a big fan of baked cheesecakes. They are always forgiving and flexible. You could go with your choice of cookies for the crust, substitute sour cream with yogurt and add more coffee if you like. I’ve even made a version of this with a shot of espresso some time ago. While the coffee connoisseurs loved it, others found it too strong. So here I’ve just stuck to instant coffee. I hope you all are enjoying the seasons in your part of the world. The great thing about coffee though is that it can be enjoyed all year round!
