How to Make Coffee Cheesecakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottoms of two 6-ounce custard cups.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 1 large egg white with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa), and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold half of the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- Fold the cream cheese mixture into the remaining whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Fill the prepared custard cups with the cream cheese mixture, dividing evenly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let cool completely in the cups.
- Run a thin knife around the edges of the cheesecakes to loosen them.
- Invert the cheesecakes onto serving plates.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.
- Before serving, drizzle with additional coffee liqueur, if desired.
