### Step-by-Step Instructions
#### 1. **Prepare the Crust**
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
#### 2. **Make the Cheesecake Filling**
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and dissolved coffee. Fold in sour cream or heavy cream until fully incorporated.
#### 3. **Bake the Cheesecake**
Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gently and prevent cracking.
#### 4. **Add Caramel and Chocolate Toppings**
Once cooled completely, drizzle caramel sauce generously over the cheesecake. Sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped chocolate on top, allowing them to melt slightly for a glossy finish. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
#### 5. **Serve and Garnish**
Before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream if desired, and dust with cocoa powder or garnish with coffee beans for an elegant touch.

### Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake

* **Don’t overbake!** A slight jiggle in the center ensures creamy texture.
* **Chill thoroughly** for best flavor and clean slicing.
