How to Make Latte Cheesecake Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine all crust ingredients (see below) in a small bowl.
  2. In a food processor, pulse 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until evenly combined.
  3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (or strong coffee granules).
  5. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until coffee is completely dissolved.
  6. In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add the coffee mixture, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Beat on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Pour the batter over the prepared crust.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is nearly set. The edges will be set.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
  12. While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache: In a small saucepan, heat 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it almost comes to a boil.
  13. Remove from heat and stir in 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  14. Pour the ganache evenly over the cooled cheesecake bars.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate ganache is set.
  16. Cut into bars and serve.
