Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate wafer cookies, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to firmly press it down.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract. Whip until stiff peaks form.
4. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped coffee cream mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Pour the coffee filling over the cookie base in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream for the chocolate ganache over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
8. Add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate to the hot cream and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
9. Remove the chilled cake from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate.
10. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
11. Optional: Decorate the cake with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and coffee beans.
