  • 24 ounces (678g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup (207g) sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (24g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (230g) sour cream, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons instant coffee/espresso granules

  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee/espresso granules
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and flour, mixing until well combined.
  4. Add sour cream, instant coffee granules dissolved in hot water, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. For the chocolate ganache, heat heavy whipping cream until just boiling, then pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth.
  10. For the coffee whipped cream, beat cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar, instant coffee, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  11. Once the cheesecake is chilled, pour the chocolate ganache over the top and spread evenly. Top with coffee whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of instant coffee granules.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
