Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and optional coffee granules. Press mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden. Let it cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and dissolved coffee mixture. Add sour cream and heavy cream, mixing until smooth. Pour into cooled crust and smooth the top.
Bake the Cheesecake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour with the oven door slightly ajar to cool slowly.
Cool the Cheesecake: Remove cheesecake from the oven and cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Make the Coffee Whipped Cream: Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, dissolved coffee, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Serve the Cheesecake: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, transfer to a serving plate, and top with coffee whipped cream. Optionally, sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for added flair.

Notes

For a mocha twist, top the cheesecake with chocolate ganache before the whipped cream.

For extra texture, mix chocolate chips or toffee bits into the cheesecake filling.

For mini cheesecakes, use a muffin tin or individual tart pans.

For stronger coffee flavor, substitute instant coffee with espresso.
