Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil.
  2. Combine crushed Oreos, melted butter, and espresso powder in a mixing bowl to form a crumbly mixture. Press into the bottom of the springform pan.
  3. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and coffee extract until smooth. Gradually add eggs, then mix in cream, cold brew, lemon juice, salt, and flour until combined.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust, place the pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water, and bake for 75-85 minutes.
  5. Turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 20 minutes, then cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 8 hours.
  6. Heat heavy cream and pour it over chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth, then let cool slightly.
  7. Drizzle the ganache over the chilled cheesecake, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Chill for another 1-2 hours.
  8. Add optional toppings before serving and slice with a hot knife for clean cuts.
