Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until resembling wet sand. Press into a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until combined, then add vanilla and salt.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low just until combined.
  5. Slowly pour in cooled espresso and coffee liqueur, mixing gently until smooth.
  6. Pour filling over cooled crust, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
  8. Turn off oven, crack the door, and cool for 1 hour. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  9. Remove from the springform pan and garnish with chocolate shavings or coffee beans before serving.
