Step‑By‑Step Instructions for Coffee Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and prepare your springform pan by spraying with nonstick spray.
  2. Crush about 20 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted unsalted butter. Press evenly into the bottom of the springform pan.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until well blended.
  4. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, blending until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  5. Fold in espresso powder until fully combined.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
  7. 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.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  9. Heat heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and let cool.
  10. Whip remaining heavy cream with sugar and espresso powder until stiff peaks form.
  11. Pour cooled ganache over the cheesecake and top with whipped coffee cream. Dust with cocoa powder if desired.
