Rich Coffee Cheesecake Oreo (Printable Version)

Creamy cheesecake blended with espresso on a crisp Oreo crust, delivering a decadent coffee flavor.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Crust

01 - 240 grams Oreo cookie crumbs
02 - 60 grams unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

03 - 680 grams cream cheese, softened
04 - 198 grams granulated sugar
05 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
06 - 80 milliliters brewed espresso
07 - 3 large eggs
08 - 118 milliliters heavy cream
09 - 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Pulse Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Combine crumbs with melted butter, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an 20 to 23 cm springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool to room temperature and reduce oven temperature to 165°C.
02 - Place the springform pan inside an oven-safe roasting bag to prevent moisture from penetrating the crust during baking.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Incorporate granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and brewed espresso, mixing until combined.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to prevent air incorporation.
05 - Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust ensuring an even layer.
06 - Place the springform pan inside a larger 23 x 33 cm roasting pan. Add approximately 2.5 centimeters of hot water to the roasting pan to create a bain-marie. Bake at 165°C for 65 to 85 minutes until the center gently wobbles when shaken.
07 - Turn off the oven and crack the oven door. Let the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven for 60 to 90 minutes to prevent cracking.
08 - Remove the cheesecake from the oven, cool to room temperature, then cover loosely with foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight to set.
09 - Unmold the cheesecake carefully before slicing and serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use full-fat cream cheese for optimal texture and flavor.
02 - A slight wobble in the center after baking indicates perfect doneness.
03 - Slow cooling helps prevent surface cracks on the cheesecake.
04 - Substituting semi-sweet with dark chocolate chips enhances richness.
