Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

For crust
1 9-ounce box chocolate wafer cookies
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For filling
1 1/2 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
For glaze
1/2 cup whipping cream
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap outside of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides with double thickness of foil. Spray bottom of pan with vegetable oil spray. Finely grind cookies in processor. Add butter and process until blended. Press mixture onto bottom (not sides) of prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
  • Make filling:
  • Combine cream and coffee powder in medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until coffee powder dissolves. Reduce heat to low. Add chocolate; whisk until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Cool 10 minutes.
  • Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until well blended. Beat in cornstarch. Add sour cream and vanilla; beat well. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Whisk 1 cup cheese mixture into chocolate mixture. Return chocolate mixture to remaining cheese mixture; whisk until smooth.
  • Pour batter into crust. Place springform pan in large baking pan. Add enough hot water to baking pan to cone halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake cheesecake until softly set and slightly puffed around edges, about 1 hour. Turn off oven. Let cake stand in oven 45 minutes. Transfer springform pan t rack and cool. Cover; chill cake overnight.
  • Make glaze:
  • Bring cream to boil in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add 4 ounces chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Pour glaze over top of cake. Using spatula, smooth glaze evenly over top. Refrigerate until glaze is set, at least 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Using knife, cut around sides of pan to loosen cake. Remove pan sides. Cut into wedges and serve.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed this cheesecake. The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, but not too overpowering. The cheesecake filling was also very creamy and smooth. I would definitely make this again.

This cheesecake is divine! The chocolate flavor is rich and intense, and the cheesecake filling is creamy and smooth. The Oreo cookie crust is the perfect finishing touch. I highly recommend this recipe!

This cheesecake was just okay. It wasn't as creamy as I expected, and the chocolate flavor was a bit muted. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was disappointed with this cheesecake. The crust was too dry and crumbly, and the cheesecake filling was too dense. I also found the chocolate flavor to be a bit too overpowering.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste, but my chocolate-loving husband absolutely loved it. He said it was the best cheesecake he's ever had. I thought the crust was a bit too thick, but my husband liked it that way. Overall, I think this i
