New York Cappuccino cheesecake

This  is a really nice cheesecake me and my mom baked this weekend for my sisters birthday party. We had no idea how this cake would taste but we had been recommended to try it by a friend who recently visited the US. And we really liked it so now I want so share it with you as well!



Ingredients:
200 g Digestive biscuits 
75 g butter
1 tsp cinnamon
3 leaves of gelatine
1 dl strong coffee
200 g creamcheese
2.5 dl quark
3 egg whites
Step 1: set the oven to 175 C.Step 2: crumble the Digestive biscuits in a bowl and mix them with the butter (melted) and cinnamon.Step 3: spread the mix in a buttered cake pan with removable edges. Bake in the oven for 10 min.Step 4: take it out and let it cool off.Step 5: soak the leaves of gelatine for 5 min, then melt them on the stove on low heat together with the coffee.Step 6: mix together the creamcheese and quark in a bowl. Add the coffee mix. Step 7: beat the egg whites until it's a hard "foam" in a separate bowl. Then add the sugar a little at a time.Step 8: Then pour the egg mix into the cheese and coffee mix and blend it together.Step 9: Pour it all into the cake pan and let the cake stand in the fridge for at least 3 h.Step 10: sift cocoa  and sprinkel chocolate flakes over the cake.Quick to prepare: This cake takes actually a long time to bake, approx. 4 h. But the good part is that it bakes it self most of the time. The preparations are not very time consuming, only the waiting for it to stand in the fridge.  Ease of preparation: The recipe is is simple and doesn't involve any difficult techniques. It's easy and fun to make. Gourmet vs. everyday: This is a very delicious cheesecake with a very coffee and chocolaty taste. The consistency is creamy and fluffy and the cake suits perfectly for a party or as rhe desert after a nice dinner. Most kids will probably not like the coffee taste though.2 dl sugar
