One of my favorite recipes…
Oh so yummy and perfect for summer. You don’t have to bake it and it is great to make ahead! My MIL is here for the weekend and as it is one of her favorites, as well as mine…I thought it would be nice to have a treat. Also, since one of my readers requested the recipe…I’ve been looking for a reason to make it and share the recipe with you.:)
Frozen Mocha Cheesecake
Crust:
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
Melt better in medium saucepan over medium heat. (Microwave works fine too) Stir in crumbs, sugar and cocoa. Press crumbs into ungreased 9-inch springform pan, bottom and sides.
Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
11 oz. Sweetened Condensed Milk
2/3 cup Chocolate Flavored Syrup (I use Hershey’s…the kind of topping ice cream)
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon hot water
1 cup whipping cream, whipped or 500 mL of Frozen Whipped Topping
Beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in milk and chocolate syrup.
Dissolve coffee in water. Add to cheese mixture.
Beat cream until stiff. Fold into cheese batter. Pour into prepared pan. Freeze
This recipe comes from Company’s Coming Desserts Recipe book by Jean Pare. She is a Canadian author of a huge, very popular series of recipe books. I love them because they are so practical and great family recipes. The desserts recipes book is now a classic and was one of the few recipe books I received as a Bridal shower gift 18 years ago. It now looks a little worn as it has received a lot of use in my house.:) Jean Pare and Company’s Coming were a feature article series in the Taste of Home magazine a few years ago. Company’s Coming now has its own web-site…you may want to check it out.
Check back in tomorrow for a {C’est Bon} article featuring a product I love!

YUUUUMMMMYYY! That looks delicious!!!
Wow, I think I need dessert now! That just looks too good! TFS
Sounds wonderful!
Looks like a great recipe! I’ll have to try it. I’m from Alberta, not too far from the town where Jean Pare was from (still is???). I have a few of her cookbooks too and I use Casseroles quite a bit. The Lazy Perogy casserole is really yummy when you want comfort food. It would make all the anti-carb people drop dead at the mere sight of it (that should tell you how good it is!).
yummy, I’ve actually made that one before, need to make it again, it’s a goodie! You inspired me to post one of my favorites too, feel free to come check it out.
If I liked coffee I would be all over that! I love it when bloggers post recipes. I am one who always tries ‘em!!!
