Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by spraying with nonstick baking spray.
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press into the base of the springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and eggs one at a time. Mix in espresso powder.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Create a water bath by placing it in a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake for 1 hour and 20 to 45 minutes.
- Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside for an hour. Then cool to room temperature for 2 hours and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- Heat the heavy cream for the ganache until steaming. Pour over chocolate chips and espresso powder. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
- Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake and spread evenly. Let it set for at least 15 minutes.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and espresso powder, whipping to stiff peaks.
- Slice the cheesecake and serve topped with whipped cream, optionally garnishing with chocolate-covered espresso beans or cocoa powder.
