Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces dark chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks
Instructions
Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving excess overhang on all sides for easy removal later.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the lined loaf pan to form a crust. Place the pan in the freezer while preparing the filling.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining 1 cup of sugar and beat until fully incorporated.
Mix in the dissolved coffee and vanilla extract, then gently fold in the melted and cooled chocolate until uniformly blended.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being cautious not to deflate it. This creates a light, airy texture.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust in the loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Cover the top with the overhanging plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight, until fully set.
To serve, remove the loaf from the pan using the plastic wrap, peel off the wrap, and slice into 1-inch thick pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!
