  4. Extremely decadent and rich. I put 2 heaped teaspoons of coffee in the cheese cake part, and 1 in the ganache, for a nice strong kick to the cake and it was perfect.

    This recipe had great reviews and everyone loved it. Just one thing I couldn’t get the instant coffee to melt into the chocalate so it left some grains and not sure. Maybe next time I will melt the instant cofee with the heavy cream so it is well incorporated. Thanks
