A no-bake tiramisu cheesecake combining bold cold brew coffee flavor with creamy, airy cheesecake layers and a buttery graham cracker crust. Perfect for coffee lovers seeking an effortless yet impressive dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (120ml) cold brew coffee concentrate
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
- About 24 ladyfinger cookies
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Refrigerate to chill.
- Whip the cream: Beat heavy whipping cream with half the sugar (½ cup / 100g) on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Make the cream cheese filling: Beat softened cream cheese, remaining sugar (¼ cup / 50g), vanilla extract, and espresso powder until smooth. Slowly add cold brew coffee concentrate while mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep it light and airy.
- Assemble layers: Quickly dip ladyfingers one at a time into cold brew coffee (do not soak). Arrange a layer over the chilled crust, spread half the cheesecake filling over them, then repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and remaining filling.
- Chill and set: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Finish with cocoa: Just before serving, sift a generous layer of cocoa powder over the top.
