Step-by-Step Instructions
- Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a plastic bag and rolling pin. Melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter and mix it with the cookie crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and chill for about 20 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 cups of room temperature cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar together until smooth. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of espresso powder and 1 cup of cold heavy cream, mixing until thick and fluffy.
- Pour the creamy filling over the chilled Oreo crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight.
- Heat 1 cup of heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering, then remove from heat. Add 8 ounces of finely chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and glossy. Let the ganache cool until slightly thickened.
- Pour the cooled ganache over the cheesecake and smooth it out. Return to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice with a hot knife, and garnish with whipped cream and crushed espresso beans.
