1. Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of cold brew for this cheesecake?

Yes, you can substitute regular brewed coffee for cold brew. However, cold brew coffee has a smoother, less acidic flavor, making it ideal for this dessert. If you use regular coffee, make sure it’s brewed strong to maintain the desired coffee intensity.

2. How long should the cheesecake chill in the fridge?

The cheesecake should chill for at least 4 hours to set properly, though overnight chilling will provide the best results. This allows the flavors to meld together and ensures a firm, creamy texture.

3. Can I make the Tiramisu Cold Brew Coffee Cheesecake ahead of time?

Absolutely! This cheesecake is a great make-ahead dessert. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and the flavors often improve after a day or two of chilling. Just be sure to cover it tightly to keep it fresh.

4. How can I prevent cracks from forming on the cheesecake?

To avoid cracks, mix the cheesecake filling gently and avoid overmixing. Overmixing introduces air into the batter, which can cause cracks as the cheesecake sets. Also, make sure the cheesecake cools gradually to prevent sudden temperature changes.

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract and ½ cup cold brew coffee.
Whip heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Dip ladyfingers briefly into the remaining ½ cup cold brew coffee and layer them over the crust.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Before serving, dust the top of the cheesecake with cocoa powder. Slice and enjoy chilled.

Notes

Ensure the ladyfingers are dipped quickly to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
Chill the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, but overnight chilling yields the best results.
Optional: Add coffee liqueur to the coffee soak for an extra layer of flavor.
For smoother slicing, let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before cutting.
