How to Make Triple Hazelnut Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Combine 1/4 cup hazelnuts, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 1/2 cups chocolate wafers in a food processor.
  3. Process until finely ground.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter and process until moist crumbs form.
  5. Press crumbs into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray.
  6. Wrap the outside of the pan with a double layer of aluminum foil.
  7. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon hot water.
  8. In a food processor, combine 16 ounces cream cheese, softened; 1 cup sour cream; 3/4 cup granulated sugar; and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Process until smooth and creamy.
  9. Add the coffee mixture, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup hazelnut liqueur (optional), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Process until well blended.
  10. Add 3 large eggs, one at a time, processing until just combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
  11. Pour batter into the prepared crust.
  12. Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan.
  13. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to a depth of 1 inch.
  14. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  15. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  16. Remove from oven and run a thin knife around the outside edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan.
  17. Let cool completely to room temperature.
  18. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  19. Remove from pan and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts before serving.
