  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs At room temperature.
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Sifted.
For the Ganache

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies with melted unsalted butter until fully coated. Press the mixture into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8–10 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing well. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, and cooled espresso. Finally, gently fold in the sifted flour.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake
  1. Wrap the springform pan with foil and place it in a larger pan filled with water. Bake for 60–70 minutes or until the edges are set.
Step 4: Prepare the Ganache
  1. Heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl and stir until smooth. Mix in remaining espresso. Let it cool before pouring over the cheesecake.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
  1. Pour the ganache over the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
