Dissolve the coffee granules in the hot water, then add it to the cream cheese mixture along with the vanilla extract.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until just combined.
Pour the filling over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
3️⃣ Bake:
Bake the cheesecake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4️⃣ Prepare the Coffee Mousse:
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and coffee granules together until soft peaks form.
Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread the mousse evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
