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)

Assembly

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

Instructions

Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscotti with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to let the crust set.
Make the cheesecake filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and half a cup of the cold brew coffee until fully combined.
Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy texture.
Layer the ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger half into the remaining 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee, just enough to soak them without becoming soggy. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer over the chilled crust.
Assemble the cheesecake: Evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the layer of ladyfingers, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Chill: Cover the pan and refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
Finish and serve: Just before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice and enjoy this refreshing cold dessert chilled.

Notes

Use strongly brewed cold brew coffee for a robust coffee flavor.
Ladyfingers should be dipped briefly to prevent sogginess.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours to ensure proper setting.
For a firmer crust, allow it to chill longer before adding filling.
This dessert is best served cold and consumed within 2 days for freshness.
