  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened (3 packages)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup espresso or strong coffee, cooled to room temperature
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

  2. Mix Oreo cookie crumbs, melted butter, and salt until combined; press mixture firmly into bottom of pan and bake crust for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth (at least 5 minutes), scraping the bowl as needed.
  4. Add sugar and flour; mix until combined. Add espresso and mix until just combined, scraping bowl again.
  5. Beat in heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until incorporated.
  6. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition.

Notes

Use good quality espresso or strong coffee for best flavor. Let the cream cheese soften to room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not overmix once eggs are added to prevent cracking during baking.
