For an 8 "springform pan

Ingredients:

• 150 gr lady finger (about 16 large biscuit)
• 25 gr butter. Melted. Plus for greasing pan.
• 1 tablespoon strong instant coffee. Dissolve with 3 tablespoons hot water, set aside.
• 500 g cream cheese. Room temperature.
• 1 cup caster sugar.
• 1 whole large egg, at room temperature.
• 1 tbsp plain flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch.

For the topping:

• Chocolate cream frosting ready mix
• Shaved semi sweet cooking chocolate.

Method:

1) Rub  8 "(± 20 cm in diameter) springform pan evenly. Cover bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 175 ⁰C, place one pan fill with water on bottom rack of oven. Prepare another rack in center of oven to put cheese cake later.

2) Crush lady finger with food processor, pour melted butter and 2 tablespoons coffee solution alternately, pulse until they just combine well. Press the crumbs at the bottom of springform pan, set aside in refrigerator.

3) In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and caster sugar, beating well until smooth, mix in remaining 1 tablespoon coffee solution and eggs, beat until blended. Turn off mixer.

4) Mix in flour and cornstarch, Use manual whisker stir until blended and no lumps. Pour into prepared pan. Place on middle rack of the oven and bake for 45 ~ 50 minutes until center is set. Slightly open the oven door and turn off the heat. Let the cheese cake cool in oven about 30 minutes before removed from the oven. Chill before decorated with toppings. Here I use ready-mix chocolate cream smeared on the surface of my cheese cake then sprinkle with shaved semi sweet chocolate. Chill in refrigerator before serving minimum 2 hours.


Enjoy.
