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)
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
Other
- 12 pieces ladyfingers, cut in half
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti with melted butter until fully incorporated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer. Refrigerate the crust for 10 minutes to allow it to set properly.
- Make the cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and half of the cold brew coffee (1/2 cup) and mix until well combined.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy filling.
- Layer the ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger half into the remaining 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee, just enough to soak without making them soggy. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers evenly over the chilled crust layer in the springform pan.
- Add the cheesecake filling: Evenly spread the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture over the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill the cheesecake: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled for a refreshing and indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Use strongly brewed cold brew coffee for a robust flavor that complements the creamy filling.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smoother filling.
- Do not over-soak the ladyfingers to prevent a soggy crust layer.
- This cheesecake requires at least 4 hours of chilling time but refrigerating overnight will improve the texture and flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuits or ladyfingers.
