Step-by-Step Instructions for Coffee Cheesecake Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and coat a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
- Crush 24 Oreo cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. Mix with melted unsalted butter and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for 8 minutes and let cool.
- Beat 24 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add 1 cup sugar, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix in the eggs one at a time and add 2 tablespoons of espresso powder.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil. Bake in a water bath for 1 hour and 20 minutes, then cool in the oven.
- Let the cheesecake cool on a wire rack for 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- For the ganache, heat 1 cup cream until it bubbles, pour over chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Let cool and pour over the chilled cheesecake.
- Whip 1 cup cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon espresso powder until stiff peaks form. Spread over the ganache.
- Slice and serve the cheesecake chilled, pairing it with coffee or espresso.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling. A water bath prevents cracks in the cheesecake for a perfect texture.
