Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold brew coffee, strongly brewed (divided: 1/2 cup for filling, 1/2 cup for ladyfingers)
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
Assembly
- 12 pieces ladyfingers, cut in half
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow it to set.
- Make the cheesecake base: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee until fully incorporated.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy.
- Layer the ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger half into the remaining 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee, ensuring not to soak them too long to prevent sogginess. Arrange a layer of the dipped ladyfingers evenly over the chilled crust.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill and set: Cover the pan and refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set.
- Finish and serve: Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice the cheesecake and enjoy chilled for the perfect cool coffee-flavored dessert.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream and a chilled bowl for better whipping results.
- Do not over-soak ladyfingers to avoid a soggy texture.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, ideally overnight, for best firmness and flavor development.
- You can substitute ladyfingers with sponge cake slices if preferred.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use a more concentrated cold brew or espresso coffee.
