For The Crust:
1.) Line a 9" spring form
pan with plastic wrap. Combine the Oreo Cookie crumbs and the melted butter,
and press the crumbs onto the bottom of the pan.
For The Filling:
1.) Dissolve 2 tsp of the coffee
powder into the coffee cream and set aside. Beat the cream cheese, mascarpone
cheese and 1 cup of sugar on high speed in a large mixing bowl until soft
and smooth. (Beat for approximately 5 minutes). On low speed, beat in
cornstarch, vanilla, one egg at a time, and the coffee cream mixture.
2.) Pour the filling into the prepared pan and top with the 1" Lady Finger pieces. Bake the cheesecake at 250 degrees F for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours,
until the centre appears nearly set when gently shaken. Allow the cheesecake to cool on a wire rack for 2 to 3 hours. Then refrigerate overnight.
For The Topping:
1.) Combine the remaining 2
tsp of coffee powder, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 cups heavy cream, and beat on
high speed until it holds stiff peaks. Pipe or spread the cream over the
top of the chilled cheesecake. Dust with cocoa. Serve as is, or with your
favorite fresh berry. Makes 12 to 14 servings.
