Ingredients

The Coffee Cream

  • 1 cup whipping cream (35% fat) (250 ml)

The Base

  • 7.8 oz Oreo biscuits (220 gr)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (60 gr), melted

The Cheesecake

  • 1.1 pound cream cheese (500 gr), room temperature
  • 1 ⅓ cup icing sugar (160 gr), sifted
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

The coffee cream

  • In a pot, add in whipping cream and instant coffee. I'm using ⅓ cup (20 gr) of instant coffee 100% arabica for that wonderful intense coffee flavour in this cheesecake. Feel free to use ¼ cup (15 gr) or adjust to your taste.
  • Heat on low and stir until the coffee is totally dissolved. Don't let the cream boil. Pour in a jar and leave it to cool to room temperature. Then keep in the fridge until it's very cold before using. I highly recommend preparing this coffee cream 1 day earlier.

The base

  • Smash the oreo biscuits together with the cream filling, into fine crumbs. You can use food processor to make it easier.
  • Place the oreo crumbs in a bowl and add melted butter. Mix until the mixture becomes like wet sand.
  • Pour the mixture into a 8 inch (20 cm) springform pan and spread evenly. Use the bottom of a glass to press it tightly to the base. Put in the freezer for 30 minutes while we continue with the cheesecake.

The cheesecake

  • Add cream cheese into a bowl and whisk for a few minutes until it's light and fluffy. Add in icing sugar, vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • Pour chilled coffee cream into a bowl and whisk until soft peaks. Pour into the cream cheese mixture. Mix everything together until the mixture thickens. Don't over mix it to avoid the cream from splitting.
  • Spoon the cheesecake mixture into our previously chilled pan. Using a spatula, spread it evenly. Gently hit the pan against the working surface, just to let everything settle in.
  • Chill in the coldest part of the fridge for minimum 48 hours or until fully set. This cheesecake doesn't use gelatin so it does need a longer time to set. Once it has set, run a knife all around and gently remove from the pan. Pipe some whipped cream on top or decorate as you wish. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Add 1 tablespoon of gelatin if you want the cheesecake to set faster.
