How to Make Unbaked Coffee Cream Cheesecake

  1. **Crust:**
  2. Crush 250g Arnott's Nice biscuits (or similar cookies) into fine crumbs.
  3. Melt 100g unsalted butter. Add to crushed biscuits and mix thoroughly.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 20cm springform pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  5. **Filling:**
  6. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 100g granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and 7g powdered gelatin (dissolved in 2 tablespoons of cold water according to package directions).
  7. Gradually whisk in 300ml whole milk until smooth.
  8. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules until dissolved. Let cool slightly.
  10. In a separate bowl, beat 500g cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
  11. Gradually add the cooled coffee mixture to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  12. Refrigerate the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and cools completely (about 30-45 minutes).
  13. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 50g granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  14. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cooled cream cheese mixture.
  15. In another bowl, softly whip 150ml heavy cream. Gently fold into the cheesecake mixture until just combined.
  16. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and refrigerate for at least 4-8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  17. Before serving, decorate with rosettes of whipped cream and a sprinkle of grated chocolate.
