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 cup cold brew coffee, strongly brewed (divided: 1/2 cup + 1/2 cup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, cold

Assembly

  • 12 pieces ladyfingers, cut in half
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti with melted butter in a bowl until evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the crust to set.
  2. Make the cheesecake mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until completely smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and half a cup (1/2 cup) of the cold brew coffee, mixing well to incorporate the coffee flavor fully.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This ensures the cheesecake remains light and airy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture carefully to maintain the fluffy texture.
  4. Prepare ladyfingers layer: Briefly dip the ladyfingers halves into the remaining half cup (1/2 cup) of cold brew coffee. Do this quickly to avoid over-soaking which can make the ladyfingers soggy. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan.
  5. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the prepared cheesecake filling evenly on top of the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to allow it to set firmly and the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve: Before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice into portions and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Do not soak the ladyfingers for too long to avoid making them too soggy, which can affect the texture of the cheesecake.
  • Use cold heavy cream to help it whip better and achieve stiff peaks.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use a robust cold brew concentrate or espresso as a substitute.
  • The cheesecake is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
