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
- Prepare the crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti with the melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the crust to set firmly.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of the cold brew coffee, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and airy.
- Prepare the ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger half into the remaining 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee. Do not soak them too long to prevent sogginess. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers evenly over the chilled crust in the pan.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Evenly spread the cheesecake mixture over the layer of soaked ladyfingers, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the springform pan and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and set.
- Finish and serve: Before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Do not soak the ladyfingers too long to avoid sogginess and maintain their texture.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to ensure it sets properly and achieves the perfect creamy consistency.
- For an enhanced coffee flavor, consider adding a splash of coffee liqueur to the cold brew coffee used for dipping the ladyfingers.
