I have to be honest with you, I'm not really a fan of cheesecake. I know, sacrilege, right? But the truth is, most cheesecakes are either too dense or too sweet for my taste. However, this Chocolate Cappuccino Cheesecake recipe is an exception to the rule. Especially made with our 1936 Coffee Chocolate Instant coffee. It's light and fluffy with a subtle coffee flavor that perfectly balances the sweetness of the chocolate. Trust me, you won't be able to resist one bite!
