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
- 1/2 cup cold brew coffee, strongly brewed
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
Ladyfinger Layer
- 12 pieces ladyfingers, cut in half
- 1/2 cup cold brew coffee, strongly brewed (for dipping ladyfingers)
Finishing
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the Cheesecake Layer: Spread the prepared cheesecake mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the top carefully.
- 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.
- Finish with Cocoa Dusting: Before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake lightly with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice and serve chilled for a rich, creamy, and coffee-infused dessert experience.
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.
