Coffee Cheesecake Pie

Ingredients

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

3 tablespoons butter, melted

¼ cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips

How to Make Coffee Cake Cheesecake Pie

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. To make the crust, combine wafer crumbs and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Add butter and thoroughly mix. Place in a 9-inch pie pan sprayed with vegetable cooking spray; evenly press up sides and over the bottom. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
3. In a small microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl, place chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coffee. Heat coffee to a simmer in the microwave; do not boil. Stir until completely smooth. Set aside to cool.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat Neufchatel cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth. Add ⅓ cup coffee and vanilla; mix until combined and smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing on low speed and scraping bowl after each until blended. Pour over reserved crust.
5. Drizzle reserved coffee mixture all over the filling; gently swirl with a knife tip. Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the center is almost set. Let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
6. Cut into 8 slices and serve.
