INGREDIENTS
 

  • 1 3/4 cups/250 grams chocolate biscuits or petit beurre cookies
  • 4.5 ounces/125 grams unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup/250 grams full-fat Greek yogurt, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup/200 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 cups/500 milliliters heavy cream, cold
  • 3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
  • 3.5 ounces/100 grams instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 7 ounces/200 grams ladyfingers
  • 1 cup/240 milliliters strong brewed coffee or 1 cup water mixed with 2 teaspoons instant coffee, cooled
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Line the bottom of a 10-inch/26 cm springform pan with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse the cookies into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the crumbs firmly into the base and up the sides of the pan using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass. Chill while preparing the filling.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the white cheese, cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, pudding powder, and vanilla. Whip on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and holds stiff peaks, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread half of the cream mixture evenly into the prepared crust. Quickly dip the ladyfingers, one at a time, into the cooled coffee and arrange in a single tight layer over the cream. Top with the remaining cream and smooth the surface with an offset spatula.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully set. Just before serving, carefully release the cheesecake from the pan and transfer to a serving plate. Dust the top generously with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
