Equipment

  • 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Food processor or rolling pin and plastic bag
  • Medium bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 14 whole oreos
  • ½ teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

For the cheesecake:

  • 2 8- ounce packages of cream cheese at room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 large egg at room temperature

For the topping:

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup of heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly oil the exposed sides.
  • Crush Oreos into crumbs, mix with espresso powder and melted butter, and press into the pan to form the crust.
    A medium glass bowl on a white marble countertop contains crushed Oreo crumbs mixed with espresso powder and melted butter. The mixture appears dark and moist with a uniform texture. Next to the bowl, the loaf pan holds the pressed crust, forming a smooth and compact layer of dark crumbs.
  • Beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy.
    A medium glass bowl on the white marble countertop contains cream cheese and sugar beaten into a fluffy white mixture. A small bowl nearby holds espresso powder dissolved in warm water, ready to be added. The setup remains minimal and clean.
  • Mix in espresso dissolved in warm water and vanilla.
    The medium glass bowl on the white marble countertop now contains the fluffy cream cheese mixture blended with espresso and vanilla. The mixture has turned a light beige color, smooth and creamy, ready for the next step.
  • Add the egg and gently mix until combined.
    The medium glass bowl on the white marble countertop now contains the light beige cheesecake mixture, with one large egg mixed in. The resulting texture is slightly thicker and smooth, and the clean setup focuses on the bowl.
  • Pour mixture over the crust.
    The loaf pan with the Oreo crust is now filled with the light beige coffee cheesecake mixture. The surface of the filling is smooth and leveled, with no bubbles. The pan is placed on the white marble countertop.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes until the surface is set. Cool near the oven, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
    The coffee cheesecake in the loaf pan is fresh out of the oven, with a set and slightly puffed surface free of cracks. The parchment paper lining is visible around the edges, and the loaf pan is on the white marble countertop.
  • Heat cream to a simmer, pour over chocolate chips, and whisk to make ganache.
    A small saucepan on the white marble countertop heats heavy cream to a gentle simmer, placed next to a medium glass bowl containing glossy dark chocolate chips. The setup is minimal, focusing on the preparation for the ganache.
  • Spread over the chilled cheesecake and let set.
    The coffee cheesecake in the loaf pan is now topped with a smooth, glossy layer of dark ganache. The ganache is evenly spread, creating a sleek finish. The loaf pan remains on the white marble countertop for consistency.
