Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 ounces (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) coffee liqueur (alcohol-free) or vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) strong brewed coffee, for dipping
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) granulated sugar, for dipping
  • 12–15 ladyfingers
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  3. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Beat in 1/4 cup cooled coffee, coffee liqueur (or vanilla extract), and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Add eggs one at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the softened mascarpone cheese until just combined.
  8. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  9. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
  11. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
  12. Remove from oven and water bath. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  13. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  14. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup coffee and 1 tablespoon sugar. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, being careful not to over-saturate.
  15. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers over the chilled cheesecake.
  16. Dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth cheesecake batter.
  • Do not overmix the cheesecake batter once the eggs are added; this can lead to cracks.
  • A water bath helps to prevent cracks in the cheesecake and ensures even baking.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso.
  • Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
