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: ½ cup for filling, ½ cup for soaking ladyfingers)
Assembly
- 12 pieces ladyfingers, cut in half
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly on top of the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even finish.
- 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.
- 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.
