Notes
About 2 tablespoons of instant coffee can be used instead of the coffee extract.
The crust can be left off if desired to save carbs. Just bake the filling directly in the pan.
To ensure the cheesecake isn't overcooked, remove it before it sets completely. The center of the pie should still be a little wiggly.
Instead of ganache, a light dusting of cocoa powder can be used to top off the cheesecake. Shavings of low carb chocolate bars can also be used for garnish.
