Cappuccino Cheesecake Bars

16 shares

These cappuccino cheesecake bars are the perfect Valentine’s Day treat to make for your loved one.

These bars have a layer of sweet graham cracker topped with creamy, subtle cappuccino cheesecake, and a dollop of whipped cream seals the deal.

If your valentine isn’t a cheesecake fan, you might try one of my other favorites! These choices should satisfy any sweet-tooth: Milky Way Chocolate Tart, Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream, Fudgy Chocolate Tart.

Serves: Serves 8

Cappuccino Cheesecake Bars

If you don't have instant herbal coffee you can substitute instant espresso powder in it's place. Adapted from Bon Appetit.

  • 9 whole graham crackers
  • 2 tablespoons maple sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled, diced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant herbal coffee

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and adjust rack to medium position. Oil and then line an 11x7-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

Reserve 1/2 cup crumbs and set aside. Press remaining mixture onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes until golden.
  2. Stir together herbal coffee, 1 tablespoon cream and vanilla in a small bowl. Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy. Add whole cane sugar and beat until blended. Beat in coffee mixture and egg.
  3. Spread filling evenly over crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set. Chill uncovered until cold and firm, at least 3 hours.

    those look perfect! Cream cheese + coffee go perfect together. And can I ask what you use for your "print recipe" option? I like the look of yours better than some others I've seen, and I'm hoping to have mine printable soon. Thanks so much!

      Thomas (who designed my site) used a plug-in for my "print recipe" option but I don't know what kind it is. Here is his site: www.tcdawsondesigns.com hopefully he can help!

    You're killing me here with all of the pictures. I had completely decided "no more sweets" after a slightly decadent V-day. I just might need to squeeze the cheesecake in though. And I love the color scheme of your pictures!

    I have a really stupid question. For both of the listings for herbal coffee, do I make coffee or just use the grains of coffee? Sorry not sure and was planning on making recipe tomorrow....Thanks, Jen

      You need to use instant herbal or regular coffee (the kind that instantly dissolves in liquid). I use Dandyblend herbal coffee, but espresso powder would work just as well.
