Ingredients
For the crust:
-
200g (about 2 cups) crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
-
100g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
-
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
For the filling:
-
400g (14 oz) cream cheese, softened
-
250g (1 cup) mascarpone cheese
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tbsp espresso or strong brewed coffee
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream
For layering & topping:
-
12–15 ladyfinger biscuits
-
1/2 cup brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
-
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
-
Optional: dark chocolate shavings or cocoa nibs for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the crust:
-
In a bowl, combine crushed biscuits with melted butter and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan (8 or 9 inches) to create an even crust.
-
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes while preparing the filling.
2. Make the cheesecake filling:
-
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of espresso until smooth and creamy.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
3. Assemble the layers:
-
Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust.
-
Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the cooled coffee (do not soak), and arrange a single layer over the filling.
-
Top with the remaining cheesecake mixture and smooth the surface.
4. Chill and set:
-
Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and develop flavor.
5. Serve:
-
Just before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder.
-
Add optional chocolate shavings for extra texture and visual appeal.
-
Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy!
Tips for Success
-
Use full-fat cream cheese and mascarpone for the best creamy texture.
-
Don’t soak the ladyfingers too long in coffee—just a quick dip to avoid sogginess.
-
For extra coffee flavor, add a splash of coffee liqueur (like Kahlua) to the brewed coffee.
-
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This cheesecake is not freezer-friendly.
