Cheesecake That Feels Like a Café Indulgence-Without the Fuss

There’s something irresistible about the combination of coffee and chocolate, it’s one I’m always excited to explore. Especially when those flavors are layered with creaminess and just the right hint of richness, like the ones that make tiramisu so iconic. And let’s be honest… who doesn’t love that combination?

This dessert brings those familiar flavors together in a way that feels impressive but doesn’t require much effort at all. No oven, no water bath, no fussy steps, just a chilled, dreamy creation that comes together with a few simple techniques.

In this recipe, I’ll walk you through how to build bold flavor, create a smooth and silky texture, avoid common no-bake pitfalls, and adapt the dessert depending on your flavor cravings. You’ll also learn how to use rum in a no-bake context without overpowering the dish, and get tips for the cleanest slices and best chill.

It’s creamy, cool, and sure to be a hit, whether you’re sharing or savoring every bite yourself.
