Tiramisu Cold Brew Coffee Cheesecake Recipe

Introduction

This Tiramisu Cold Brew Coffee Cheesecake combines the rich, creamy texture of classic cheesecake with the bold flavors of cold brew coffee and cocoa. It’s an easy, no-bake dessert perfect for coffee lovers looking to impress without extra fuss.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup cold brew coffee, strongly brewed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
• 12 pieces ladyfingers, cut in half
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

1. Step 1: Combine graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the crust.
2. Step 2: Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of the cold brew coffee until well incorporated.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy.
4. Step 4: Briefly dip each ladyfinger half into the remaining 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee—avoid soaking too long to prevent sogginess. Layer the dipped ladyfingers evenly over the chilled crust.
5. Step 5: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Step 6: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is firm and set.
7. Step 7: Before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice and enjoy chilled.

Tips & Variations

• Do not soak the ladyfingers for too long to keep them from becoming overly soggy and losing texture.
• For a stronger coffee flavor, add a splash of coffee liqueur to the cold brew coffee used for soaking the ladyfingers.
• Crushed biscotti can be used in place of graham cracker crumbs for a more authentic Italian touch.
• Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to avoid lumps in the cheesecake mixture.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for the best freshness. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier slicing. This cheesecake is best enjoyed chilled and should not be frozen as the texture may change upon thawing.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of cold brew?

Yes, you can substitute regular brewed coffee, but be sure to use a strong brew and let it cool completely before dipping the ladyfingers to prevent sogginess.

How long should I chill the cheesecake for optimal texture?

Chilling for at least 4 hours is recommended to allow the cheesecake to firm up properly. Overnight chilling will enhance the flavors even more.
