Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Mix crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a foil-wrapped 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
Mix the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add sour cream and mix gently. Dissolve instant coffee in Kahlua, then blend it into the batter on low speed until fully incorporated.
Add Eggs and Assemble: Add eggs and egg yolks one at a time, mixing just until combined. Pour the batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake and Chill: Place the pan in a large roasting dish and add hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center gently jiggles. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
Make and Add the Ganache: Heat whipping cream and Kahlua until hot but not boiling. Pour over chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth. Spread ganache evenly over the chilled cheesecake and refrigerate until set before serving.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat ingredients for a creamier texture.
Chilling the cheesecake overnight enhances the flavor.
