Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

9 whole graham crackers, broken up
1/4 cup plus 2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, diced
6 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 8-ounce packages Philadelphia-brand cream cheese, room temperature
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 11 x 7 x 1 1/2- inch metal baking pan. Grind graham crackers with 1/4 cup sugar in processor to small crumbs. Add 1/4 cup butter and 1 1/2 teaspoons espresso powder. Blend until crumbs are moist and stick together. Transfer 1/2 cup crumb mixture to pie dish for crumb topping. Press remaining mixture onto bottom of prepared metal baking pan. Bake crumbs in pan and pie dish until golden, 10 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Meanwhile, stir remaining 5 teaspoons espresso powder, 1 tablespoon cream, and vanilla in small bowl until coffee dissolves. Beat cream cheese in large bowl until smooth. Add 2/3 cup sugar and beat to blend. Beat in coffee mixture, then egg.
  • Spread filling evenly over crust in metal baking pan. Bake until set, about 25 minutes. Chill uncovered until cold and firm, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Beat 1 cup cream in medium bowl until firm peaks form. Cut cheesecake lengthwise into 3 strips; cut each strip into 5 bars. Transfer bars to platter. Dollop whipped cream atop each bar. Sprinkle with crisp crumb mixture from pie dish.
