Ingredients

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 Oven 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 unsalted butter. Stir well until fully incorporated.
  3. Form and Bake Crust: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to create an even crust layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool while preparing the filling.
  4. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  5. Add Sugar: Add 1 cup granulated sugar to the cream cheese and continue beating until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Incorporate Coca Cola and Other Ingredients: Mix in 1/2 cup Coca Cola, eggs, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and well combined without overmixing.
  7. Pour Filling over Crust: Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust in the springform pan.
  8. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center remains slightly jiggly to ensure a creamy texture.
  9. Cool Slightly: Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to start setting before removing the springform sides.
  10. Remove and Cool Completely: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and let it cool to room temperature completely on a wire rack.
  11. Chill the Cheesecake: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and enhance the flavors.
  12. Prepare Optional Coca Cola Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup Coca Cola and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens into a syrup. Let it cool before drizzling over the chilled cheesecake.
  13. Serve: Slice the cheesecake and serve with the optional Coca Cola syrup drizzled on top for a unique and delectable dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Do not overbake the cheesecake; it should have a slight jiggle in the center for a creamy texture.
  • The Coca Cola syrup topping is optional but adds a delightful extra layer of flavor.
  • Use a springform pan to easily remove the cheesecake without damaging it.
  • Cooling completely before refrigerating helps prevent cracks on the surface.
  • Store leftover cheesecake in the fridge, covered, for up to 3-4 days.
