Description

This Incredible Coca Cola Cheesecake is a unique twist on the classic creamy dessert, featuring a sweet and fizzy Coca Cola-infused filling atop a buttery graham cracker crust. Perfectly baked to achieve a smooth texture with a slightly jiggly center, this cheesecake is finished with an optional thick Coca Cola syrup drizzle for an extra burst of flavor. Ideal for impressing guests or enjoying a nostalgic treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Coca Cola
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Syrup (Optional Topping)

  • 1/2 cup Coca Cola
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Crust Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is fully blended and holds together.
  3. Form and Bake Crust: Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a compact base. Bake for 10 minutes to set, then remove from oven and allow to cool.
  4. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  5. Add Sugar to Filling: Add 1 cup granulated sugar to the cream cheese and continue beating until completely incorporated and smooth.
  6. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Mix in 1/2 cup Coca Cola, the eggs one at a time, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour. Beat the mixture until it is smooth and well combined with no streaks of flour visible.
  7. Pour Batter over Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust in the pan.
  8. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when the pan is gently shaken.
  9. Cool in Pan: Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes after baking. Then carefully remove the springform pan sides and cool the cheesecake completely at room temperature.
  10. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to fully set and develop flavor.
  11. Prepare Coca Cola Syrup (Optional): In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup Coca Cola and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for approximately 5 minutes until the mixture thickens into a syrup. Allow to cool before using.
  12. Serve: Drizzle the cooled Coca Cola syrup over the chilled cheesecake before slicing and serving for a delightful presentation and enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Do not overbake; the slight jiggle in the center prevents a dry, cracked cheesecake.
  • Use a water bath if you prefer ultra-smooth texture, though this recipe works well without it.
  • The Coca Cola syrup topping is optional but adds a delicious caramelized touch.
  • Store leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
