Additionally, the hazelnut flour adds a pleasant nutty taste that complements the coffee perfectly.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Coffee Crumble Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 2⅔ cups (320 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (80 g) hazelnut flour
- 1¼ cups (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (120 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ cup (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (8 g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1⅔ cups (400 ml) whole milk
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar (for filling)
- ⅓ cup (40 g) cornstarch
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- ½ cup (70 g) dark chocolate chips
Press about half of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, lightly compacting it. Spread the cooled coffee cream over the crust. Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the filling, then cover with the remaining chocolate crumble without pressing it down. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly crisp. Let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve chilled with a dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra bakery-style finish.
Serving Suggestions for Your Cheesecake
This Coffee Crumble Cheesecake can be served on its own or paired with various accompaniments. Consider serving it with a side of fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flair. To further enhance your dessert experience, try it with a cup of espresso or a latte for the ultimate coffee lover’s delight.

How to Store Leftovers
To keep your leftovers fresh, store the cheesecake in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It should maintain its flavor and texture for up to 4 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe container.
