Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup cold brew coffee, strongly brewed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
• 12 pieces ladyfingers, cut in half
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

1. Step 1: 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 and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the crust.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of the cold brew coffee.
3. Step 3: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
4. Step 4: Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the remaining 1/2 cup cold brew coffee, being careful not to soak them too long to avoid sogginess. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers evenly over the prepared crust.
5. Step 5: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is firm.
6. Step 6: Before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice and enjoy chilled.

Tips & Variations

• For a stronger coffee flavor, add a splash of coffee liqueur to the cold brew coffee before dipping the ladyfingers.
• Use crushed biscotti for the crust instead of graham cracker crumbs for an extra crunch and almond flavor.
• Make sure the heavy cream is very cold to achieve the best whipped texture.
• Do not soak the ladyfingers too long to keep the layers from becoming soggy.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If needed, you can freeze it for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. Serve chilled and avoid leaving it out at room temperature for extended periods to maintain texture and freshness.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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: ½ cup for filling, ½ cup for soaking ladyfingers)

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. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the crust to set firmly.
2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and ½ cup of the cold brew coffee and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and airy cheesecake filling.
4. Soak and layer ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger half into the remaining ½ cup cold brew coffee; do this quickly to avoid soaking them too much. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan.
5. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly on top of the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even finish.
6. Chill to set: Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is firm and set.
7. Garnish and serve: Before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice with a warm knife and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

• Do not soak the ladyfingers for too long to avoid making them soggy and falling apart.
• Allow the cheesecake to chill for at least 4 hours to ensure it sets properly and develops the best texture.
• For a more intense coffee flavor, consider adding a splash of coffee liqueur to the cold brew coffee used for soaking the ladyfingers.
• This no-bake cheesecake is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days for freshness.
