Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in hot water. Add the coffee mixture, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.
- Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
- Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
