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 into 1/2 cup portions)
- 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
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti with melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow it to set properly.
- Make the cream cheese mixture: Using a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Then, add the vanilla extract and half (1/2 cup) of the cold brew coffee to the mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
- Whip the cream: In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care to maintain the airy texture.
- Prepare the ladyfingers: Briefly dip each halved ladyfinger into the remaining 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee. Do not soak them too long to avoid sogginess. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers evenly over the crust layer in the springform pan.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
- Chill the cheesecake: Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap or a lid, then refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until fully firm and set.
- Serve: Just before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy your tiramisu cold brew coffee cheesecake.
Notes
- Do not soak the ladyfingers for too long to avoid making them too soggy.
- Use strongly brewed cold brew coffee for a rich coffee flavor.
- Chilling time is essential to help the cheesecake set properly; overnight refrigeration is recommended for best results.
- The recipe can be doubled to serve a larger crowd, using a bigger pan accordingly.
