### Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)
- Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 10-inch springform pan and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create a crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted chocolate until fully combined.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust in the pan, smoothing it out. Set aside the other half for later.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half of this whipped cream into the reserved cheesecake batter.
- Spread the mousse mixture over the first layer of cheesecake in the springform pan.
- Finally, pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top of the mousse layer and smooth it out a bit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set fully.
- Before serving, garnish with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings. Slice and enjoy the impressive layers of this Tuxedo Mousse Cheesecake!
Get ready to dazzle your guests with this incredible dessert. It’s a true showstopper that balances flavors and textures in every bite. Happy baking!
