Sadly, I forgot to tale a photo as we were rushed to get out the door, but one of the dinner guests took a cell phone photo which did a disservice to the glorious treat, so I had no choice but to make another one so I could blog about it (I know, poor me). I hope you don't mind that I posted your "tantalizing description", giving you credit of course. I'd love it if you'd stop by for a look. Thanks so much for inspiring me to make this great cheesecake - everyone loved it and I'm sure I'll make it for years to come. :) Patricia <a href="http://butteryum.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">ButterYum</a> Greetings from VA – I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that your description of this cheesecake consumed my thoughts for days – thankfully I was asked to bring dessert to a dinner party not long after and I’m happy to report the cheesecake was a huge hit.

I used it to cap a light, fish&veg dinner party for her and it was a sensation. I changed nothing, doubled the espresso powder and skipped the beans just like you did, and the coffee layer was the purest coffee taste I've had in a dairy dessert. I even made my own cookies for crushing, from your faux-Famous Wafers, and the crust was great. The balance of flavors is just perfect, and I'd urge everyone to not skip the sour cream topping layer, as the tartness is pure heavenly contrast to the richness of the other layers. A masterpiece, Deb. Thank you for winning me all the kudos I got!

I'm sure I can find gluten-free cookies but do I need to replace the flour in the cake with something else? Or could I just omit it...?

I was mentally prepared but still unable to eat an entire 1" sliver! Seriously delicious though - my first ever attempt at a cheesecake and it went pretty well! Everything came out perfectly - except the crust. I had the same issue as another commenter with the center not setting anywhere near the stated hour. My oven is accurate (i have a thermometer inside) and it is big enough so I'm not sure what I can do to fix this - my crust did come out a little overdone (it could barely be cut with my serrated cake server) since I had to leave it in for an extra 40 minutes!!! I think next time I will take it out no matter how unset the center is after 1hr20 minutes at the latest. Everything said about how rich this cake is is absolutely true!

I might try it again with a much smaller amount of ganache over the crust - I really like the strong coffee flavor of the filling. Also, my baking time was MUCH longer -an extra 25 min.
