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

Assembly

  • 12 pieces ladyfingers, cut in half
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti with the melted unsalted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust. Refrigerate the crust for 10 minutes to allow it to set and harden slightly.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat the softened cream cheese together with powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of the cold brew coffee, blending well to incorporate the flavors.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, which means the cream holds its shape firmly when the whisk is lifted. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it remains light and airy without overmixing.
  4. Layer the ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger half into the remaining 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee, just enough to soak but not soggy. Layer the soaked ladyfingers evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan.
  5. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the prepared cheesecake mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the surface for a clean finish.
  6. Chill the cheesecake: Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and set.
  7. Finish and serve: Before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice into portions and enjoy this chilled, coffee-flavored dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the cheesecake filling.
  • Do not over-soak the ladyfingers to prevent the crust from becoming soggy; a quick dip is sufficient.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use extra strong cold brew or espresso in place of cold brew coffee.
  • The cheesecake can be made a day ahead and refrigerated for convenience.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal and clean slices.
  • If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings or espresso beans for added decoration.
