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
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 cup cold brew coffee, strongly brewed (divided: 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup)
Assembly
- 12 pieces ladyfingers, cut in half
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: 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 allow the crust to set properly.
- Make the cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and half of the cold brew coffee (1/2 cup) and mix until well combined.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, indicating it is fully aerated and holds shape well.
- Combine filling components: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the air incorporated in the whipped cream. This creates a light, fluffy cheesecake filling.
- Soak and arrange ladyfingers: Briefly dip the halved ladyfingers into the remaining 1/2 cup cold brew coffee, making sure they absorb some coffee without becoming soggy. Layer the dipped ladyfingers evenly over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Assemble cheesecake: Spread the cream cheese and whipped cream filling evenly over the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm and set.
- Finish and serve: Before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice and enjoy this chilled, coffee-flavored dessert.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use extra cold brew or soak ladyfingers a little longer, but avoid oversoaking them to prevent sogginess.
- This cheesecake is best served chilled and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, ensure ladyfingers and graham cracker crumbs are gluten-free.
- Use cold heavy cream and chilled bowls to make whipping easier and yield better volume.
