Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Crush about 20 chocolate cookies into fine crumbs, then mix in 5 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until all crumbs are coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Make the Filling
  1. Beat 16 ounces of softened full-fat cream cheese until creamy, then gradually add 1 cup of sugar. Next, blend in 1 cup of sour cream, 2 teaspoons of espresso powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Incorporate Eggs
  1. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients.
Bake
  1. Pour the filling into the crust and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 55-65 minutes, until the edges are set with a slight wobble in the center.
Cool
  1. Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
