Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a circle or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add the Oreo crumbs and melted butter to a medium mixing bowl and stir until evenly moistened. Pour the Oreo crumbs into the prepared pan and press firmly around the bottom until an even crust forms. Set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar together in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat to combine.
- With the mixer on low speed, mix in the sour cream, melted chocolate, Kahlúa, espresso, and cornstarch until smooth and evenly combined.
- Pour the filling over the Oreo crust. Carefully bang the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the middle of the cheesecake jiggles very slightly and bounces back when pressed.
- Turn off the oven and prop open the oven door. Then allow the cheesecake to rest in the oven for 1 hour. (To avoid cracking, you can carefully run a knife around the rim of the pan after around 10 -15 minutes of resting to loosen the cake from the sides. When the cake shrinks during the cooling process, it won’t stick to the edges and crack.)
- Take the cheesecake out of the oven and let it cool down to room temperature. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Once chilled, run a knife around the edge of the pan and remove the metal ring around the sides.
- When you're ready to serve the cheesecake, beat the heavy cream in a medium mixing bowl with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken. Sprinkle the sugar in and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Sprinkle the top of the cheesecake with cocoa powder. Then, transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag and pipe swirls around the edge of the cheesecake. Top the whipped cream swirls with chocolate-covered espresso beans if desired.
