Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone! Anyone have any exciting plans? I’ve got a Pot Roast in the slow cooker…hope it turns out good! It was a special V-day request from Jay. He also LOVES cheesecake, so I thought I would make this for dessert… plus, what guy can resist coffee & donuts?
I entered this recipe into a recipe contest a couple years ago but they must have misplaced it, because it didn’t win anything! hahaha. This is a very yummy donut-crust cheesecake bar. One of my friends still insists it’s the best recipe I’ve ever come up with. If you can get Krispy Kreme’s for this, definitely use them. I’ve used other brands and it’s just not as tasty.
Coffee & Donuts
8 – Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Donuts
2 – 8 oz pkgs cream cheese (at room temperature)
1/3 cup – sugar
2 – eggs
1 tsp – vanilla
1 tbsp – instant coffee granules
2 cups – semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup – heavy cream
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Cut up doughnuts in large pieces and place in food processor. Pulse until doughnuts resemble very coarse crumbs.
- Take doughnut crumbs and press firmly into the bottom of the baking dish.
- In bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, coffee, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Spread mixture evenly on top of doughnut layer.
- Bake at 350 for approximately 30 minutes (until center starts to rise and look a little dry). Let cool.
- While bars are cooling, combine chocolate chips & cream in a double boiler. Stir until the chocolate chips have melted and mixture is smooth.
- Pour chocolate over the cheesecake bars and spread evenly.
- Put bars in the refrigerator to cool. After 2 hours, cut into squares and then place back in the fridge. Cool for 2 more hours or overnight.
