Prepare the Crust

Make the Espresso Cheesecake Filling
  1. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing well. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, sour cream, and cooled espresso. Fold in flour until just combined.
Bake the Cheesecake
  1. Wrap the springform pan in foil and place in a larger roasting pan. Fill with hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for 60-70 minutes until set. Turn off the oven, leave inside for 1 hour.
Add the Ganache Topping
  1. Heat heavy cream. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl and stir until smooth. Mix in a tablespoon of cooled espresso. Pour ganache over cooled cheesecake.
Chill and Serve
  1. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight. Garnish before serving. Slice with a warm, wet knife for neat cuts.
