minutesThis recipe is a reworked Cappuccino cheesecake and if you prefer the mocha flavour then feel free to substitute the Guinness for a teaspoon of instant coffee and a 1/4 cup of water but, really why would you. This cheesecake is oddly delicious and like a few of my other recipes it has bacon!
