Ingredients
- 24 cookies Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Melted)
- 24 oz Cream Cheese (Softened)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 4 large Eggs (Room temperature)
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tbsp Instant Espresso Powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- Optional Garnishes: Chocolate Shavings, Cocoa Powder Dusting, or whole Coffee Beans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies and mix with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add cornstarch and mix well. Incorporate eggs one at a time, then add sour cream, heavy cream, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until set but slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cool for 1 hour.
- Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe over the cheesecake.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or coffee beans. Slice and serve.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for best results. A water bath can improve creaminess. Don’t overmix after adding eggs to avoid cracks.
