This 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!

  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • ½ tsp vanilla

  • 1/4 cup Guinness stout

  • 4 strips of crispy cooked bacon, crumbled (use real bacon for this)

  • 2 squares of dark chocolate, grated
