Mocha Sour Cream Cheese Cake (Non-Baked)

This is what I have been missing out for a very long time....chocolaty cheesecake. I often used cream cheese on my cheesecake but some other time I will use freshly made ricotta cheese. I found that ricotta cheese is quite easy to make at home, so there is no doubt that I'm using it quite often. Other than that this is actually my first attempt trying to use raw eggs on my non-baked cheesecake. I'm not sure about others but I found that it is pretty weird for not cooking the eggs ! hahaha..... However, luckily the cake doesn't smell like raw eggs at all; otherwise, there will be no one touching the cake. *sigh*

Ingredients :
For Crust
150gm  biscuit, finely crushed
50gm   roasted coconut shreds
100gm   butter, melted

2 egg white
2-1/2 tbsp  sugar

For Mocha Ganache
250gm  chocolate, chopped
100ml   whipping cream
1 tbsp   instant coffee powder
(Bring cream & coffee powder to boil in a saucepan, add in chocolate, stir till melted. Then set aside to cool or spreadable. Finally ganache it to the cake. It's best to chill before serving..)

The flavour of mocha is so so very tempting. Good that I've been behaving well that day and waited patiently for the cake to set in the fridge. Yes, I've been good and I granted myself two slices of it after that. hahaha....... Enjoy everyone!
