Indulgent No-Bake Caramel Macchiato Cheesecake
This No-Bake Caramel Macchiato Cheesecake is a creamy, dreamy dessert that perfectly balances the flavors of coffee and caramel. The smooth cheesecake texture combined with the buttery graham cracker crust creates a delightful contrast that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (optional, for extra coffee flavor)
- Chocolate shavings or coffee beans for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. If using, dissolve instant coffee granules in the cooled coffee and add this mixture to the cream cheese mixture, blending until smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add Caramel: Drizzle in the caramel sauce and gently mix to create swirls within the cheesecake filling for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Assemble: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top if desired.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. For best results, chill overnight.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with chocolate shavings or coffee beans if desired, and slice into pieces before serving.
