Instructions
 

Prepare the pan and coffee soak

  • Combine espresso powder and rum with 1 cup of hot water. Pour into a shallow bowl and set aside to cool. Reserve 3 Tablespoons aside for the filling.
    1 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee powder, 1 cup hot water, 2 teaspoons rum extract, 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • Prepare an 8" or 9" springform pan lined with parchment paper and set aside.

Prepare the crust

  • In a food processor or blender, add graham crackers and pulse until fine. Add graham crackers to a medium bowl with melted butter, cocoa powder and espresso powder. Mix until fully combined.

  • Pour the crust into the prepared springform pan. Press the bottom and edges with your fingertips or a small cup so its well packed evenly, tightly and it doesn't crumble anymore.

Prepare the cheesecake filling

  • Use an electric hand mixer to whip together cream cheese and mascarpone for 1-2 minutes on until combined and smooth. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and whip on medium/high speed until smooth. Add heavy cream and coffee and whisk for 1 minute until it can hold a stiff peak. Do not over whip.

Assemble the layers

  • Add half of the cheesecake filling into the springform pan and use an offset spatula to even out the top. Dip the ladyfingers into the coffee on each side. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in a straight layer. Then, add the rest of the cheesecake filling and use an offset spatula to flatten the top.
    1/2 pack of ladyfingers, unsweetened cocoa powder

Chill

  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for least 8 hours but for best results, chill overnight.

Make the whipped topping

  • Once ready to serve, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Add it to the top of the cheesecake and dust with cocoa powder.
    1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Notes

  • I prefer to use a 9" springform pan but an 8" works well too. The layers will be slightly thicker but you achieve the same texture. This is a delicate cake and a springform pan is needed for best results. Shop my exact springform pans here. (Affiliate link)
