Tips & Variations

• Use crushed biscotti instead of graham crackers for added texture and a more authentic tiramisu flavor.
• For a stronger coffee taste, soak the ladyfingers a little longer but avoid making them soggy.
• Try adding a splash of coffee liqueur to the cream cheese mixture for an adult twist.
• Use a hand mixer to whip the cream and cream cheese mixture for a smoother texture.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it well wrapped to prevent absorbing other fridge odors. When ready to serve, you can dust with additional cocoa powder if desired. This cheesecake is best enjoyed cold and does not require reheating.

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 it is strong and cooled completely before using to maintain the rich coffee flavor and avoid melting the cream.

How do I prevent the ladyfingers from becoming too soggy?

Dip the ladyfingers quickly in the coffee to avoid them soaking up too much liquid. They should be moist but still hold their shape when layered in the cheesecake.

Scale 1x2x3x

Crust

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti

Cheesecake Filling

• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup cold brew coffee, strongly brewed

Ladyfinger Layer

Finishing

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti with melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate the crust for 10 minutes to allow it to set properly.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of strongly brewed cold brew coffee until fully combined.
3. Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy cheesecake filling.
4. Layer the Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger half into the remaining 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee to soak slightly. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer over the chilled crust in the springform pan.

6. Chill to Set: Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until fully firm and set.

Notes

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy blending and a smooth filling consistency.
• Use cold whipping cream directly from the fridge for best whipping results.
• Dip ladyfingers quickly into cold brew to avoid soggy layers.
• This no-bake cheesecake benefits from sufficient chilling time; overnight refrigeration is ideal for firm texture.
• For a more intense coffee flavor, use a strong cold brew concentrate.
• Graham cracker crumbs can be substituted with crushed biscotti for added texture and flavor variation.
