Mountain Mama's Frozen Mocha Cheesecake

Frozen Mocha Cheesecake
Super Yummy & a Huge Family Favorite


I found this recipe in the Great American Brand Name Recipes Cookbook.  I tried to find the exact recipe to link it here, but I was not able to locate it.  I have tweaked the recipe and mine is as follows:

Ingredients:

1 & 1/4 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1 & 1/2 cups whipping cream

1 & 1/2 packages (12 oz. total) cream cheese, softened
1 & 1/2 cans (21 oz. total) condensed milk
1 cup chocolate flavored syrup
2 Tablespoons instant coffee
1 teaspoon hot water

Directions:

Lightly spray the bottom and sides of 10" springform pan with vegetable spray. Combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar.  Mix in mini chocolate chips.   Press firmly on bottom and up sides of 10"springform pan. You won't be able to get the crumbs all the way up the sides ... only a little way.

Whip the whipping cream until a good peak forms.  Set aside.

In large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth.  Add chocolate flavored syrup and beat until smooth.

In small bowl, dissolve coffee with water.  Seriously, it only takes 1 teaspoon of hot water.  Add to cheese mixture.  Mix well.

Fold in whipped cream (set aside from earlier). Pour into prepared pan. Cover.  Freeze all day or over night.

Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes and remove sides of pan before serving.  Optional:  Top individual slices with whip cream and a few mini chocolate chips.  This looks very pretty, but I'm not kidding, this cheesecake can stand on its own!
