Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing the sides and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- Pulse the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor. Mix with melted butter until sandy. Press into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth, then gradually mix in sugar, vanilla, and brewed espresso. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust. For even heating, place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan filled with 1 inch of hot water.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 65-85 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking to prevent drying.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool for 60-90 minutes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Warm heavy cream until boiling, then pour over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth to make ganache.
- Remove cheesecake from the pan and pour ganache on top, letting it drip down the sides. Optionally garnish with chocolate shavings.

Notes
Press the Oreo crust firmly and avoid overmixing the filling. Use a water bath to keep the cheesecake moist. Chill overnight for best results.
