Step‑By‑Step Instructions for Coffee Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and prepare your springform pan by spraying with nonstick spray.
- Crush about 20 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted unsalted butter. Press evenly into the bottom of the springform pan.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until well blended.
- Add sour cream and vanilla extract, blending until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Fold in espresso powder until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
- Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes until the center jiggles slightly. Allow to cool in the oven for an hour.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Heat heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and let cool.
- Whip remaining heavy cream with sugar and espresso powder until stiff peaks form.
- Pour cooled ganache over the cheesecake and top with whipped coffee cream. Dust with cocoa powder if desired.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter. Use a water bath while baking to prevent cracks. Chill overnight for maximum flavor.
