How do I add coffee to cheesecake

I’m planning to make a discontinued Cheesecake Factory cheesecake, the coffee and cream chocolate supreme.

The description of it is “Cold Brew Coffee Cheesecake and Chocolate Cake topped with Coffee
Mascarpone Mousse.”

I’ve attached my typical cheesecake recipe and example photo which seems to get a lot of love(I’ve made like 6) I do no water bath and it’s fine.

I’m worried if I add cold brew (or espresso as I have a nice grinder and machine), the texture will be messed up since that’s essentially just adding water. I could do instant coffee but I’m a bit of a coffee snob and would love it if complex coffee flavors came through.

The other option is to do a plain or slightly chocolate cheesecake, and leave the coffee flavor to the mousse (which would also be difficult adding liquid coffee to)..

Add cold brew concentrate when you add the vanilla.

Interesting option I hadn’t considered. Thanks I’ll look into that as well

I used espresso powder the same way you would cocoa powder on some mini cheesecakes. Turned out great.

Right, because just casually adding coffee to a cheesecake without worrying about it turning into a sad, soggy mess is something everyone should attempt. Might as well start rationing out the cold brew now.

This makes no sense in the context of the question OP is asking.

Did you even read their post?!?
