Method:
Mix together the cookie crumbs, butter and sugar and press evenly into the bottom of a greased spring form pan. To prepare filling, heat the ½ cup of cream on low. Dissolve the coffee powder into the cream and set aside to cool. This will be added to the cheesecake batter later. Beat together the cream cheese and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in the vanilla essence and ¾ cup cream. Divide the cheesecake batter into two equal portions. To the first half stir in the melted chocolate and pour onto the prepared cookie crumb base. To the second half of the batter blend in the cooled coffee and cream mixture that was prepared earlier. Carefully spoon this slowly over the chocolate layer already in the spring form pan. Bake at 160 degrees C for 60-70 minutes. Put a tray full of water next to the pan, so that the steam will help the cheesecake to cook well. Once 70 minutes are over, close the oven but do not be tempted to open the oven door for even a sneak ! it will result in cracks on your cheesecake. Let cool in oven for few hours. Then remove and chill preferably overnight. To prepare the ganache, melt together the cream and chocolate. Pour over the cooled cheesecake. Garnish with the toasted slivered almonds. Chill again and serve.
