Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted unsalted butter until well blended. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until set, then cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and mix until combined. Add room temperature eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla, sour cream, and brewed espresso. Fold in flour gently.
- Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with foil to prevent water leakage. Place in a larger roasting pan and fill with hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for 60-70 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let cool in the oven for another hour.
- For the ganache, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips, let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Blend in brewed espresso and let cool slightly before pouring over the cheesecake.
- Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or preferably overnight. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and coffee beans before serving.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not overmix to prevent cracks while baking.
