- Empty the mix into the pan and press firmly using a flat-based coffee mug.
- Once itโs done, bake it for 6-8 minutes before leaving it on a wire rack.
Filling and Baking
- For making the filling of cheesecake, pour sour cream, vanilla, and coffee granules in a bowl and stir well until the coffee liquefies properly.
- Melt the chocolate as suggested in the tip below.
- Next, blend cream cheese, melted chocolate, eggs, sour cream, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to get a smooth and fluffy mix.
- Once youโre done, take the prepared crust and spread an even layer of butterscotch and the filling over it.
- Again bake the crust at 300ยฐF for an hour.
- Finally, toss the prepared cake on a rack, let it cool down a bit, and put it into a refrigerator overnight.
Quick Tip โ Melt chocolate in the microwave
Instead of a double boiler, use this method to melt chocolate quickly. First, cut the chocolate into fine pieces, put them in a microwave-friendly bowl, and heat until you get completely melted chocolate.
