How to Make Chocolate Caramel Mocha Cheesecake

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Make the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the melted chocolate, brewed espresso, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the caramel sauce, heavy cream and fold gently into the cheesecake batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared crust and bake in a water bath at 325°F (165°C) for 70-75 minutes or until the center is just set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes.
Cool completely in the oven with the door ajar. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Top with chocolate ganache (recipe not included, but easily found online).
Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle, or fresh berries before serving.
