1/3 cup chocolate graham cracker crumbs (about 2 whole crackers)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 tablespoon hot water
1/3 cup strong brewed coffee
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 package (3 ounces) ladyfingers, split
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1-1/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs, lightly beaten
Baking cocoa
Instructions
Brush bottom of a 9-in. springform pan with butter; sprinkle evenly with cracker crumbs. Place pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Securely wrap foil around pan.
Dissolve coffee granules in hot water; cool and set aside for filling. Combine brewed coffee and rum extract; brush over flat sides of split ladyfingers. Arrange ladyfingers, rounded sides out, along sides of prepared pan.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the cream, sour cream, vanilla and dissolved coffee. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into prepared pan. Place springform pan in a large baking pan; add 1 in. of boiling water to larger pan.
Bake at 325° for 70-80 minutes or until center is just set and top appears dull. Remove springform pan from water bath; remove foil. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack for 10 minutes; loosen edges from pan with a knife. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
Remove rim from pan. Just before serving, dust cheesecake with cocoa.
