Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for garnish, optional)
- for garnish Whipped cream or chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the melted butter and pulse until well combined.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to compact the crust and create an even layer. Place the pan in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of hot water. Add the coffee mixture, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-cream cheese mixture until smooth and well combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight, until firm.
Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
Carefully release the springform pan and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings if desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
