Marbled Cappuccino Fudge Cheesecake image

I came up with this recipe because I love the frozen cappuccino drinks at coffee shops and wanted a cheesecake with the same goods. If you try it, don't hold the whip. The creamy mocha-infused topping is the best part! -Becky McClaflin, Blanchard, Oklahoma
