Description

Butter and chocolate graham crackers make a crust for this otherwise 'no-bake' tiramisu-style cheesecake.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)
1/2 cup cold, brewed coffee

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch pan with aluminum foil, making sure to cover the sides and leaving several inches of aluminum foil on each end.
2 Mix graham crackers and butter in a bowl until crackers are moist; pat down into the prepared pan.
3 Bake in preheated oven until firm, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
4 Beat cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk; continue beating until incorporated. Blend sour cream and lemon juice into the cream cheese mixture. Chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
5 Dip each vanilla wafer cookie in the brewed coffee for a few seconds and arrange in a layer onto the cooled crust with about 1/2 inch between each cookie. Spread about 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture over the cookies. Repeat layering of cookies and cream cheese mixture twice more.
6 Refrigerate until center is set, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
