I’ve got some delicious cheesecake for you today! A no-bake Cappuccino Cheesecake. Mmmm… no need to heat up the oven when it’s already hot outside, right?! ;) That’s why no-bake cakes aka. fridge cakes are so good in summer! Especially when they are also delicious…
Besides that cheesecake I want to tell you a bit about a little baking competition. As you can see on some of the pictures, there are products from KRÜGER FAMILY in the back. I did not forget to clean up the space, they are there on purpose :P
KRÜGER FAMILY is doing a nice baking competition mentored by Ruth Moschner*. You can create a recipe using one of the KRÜGER FAMILY products and upload the recipe with a picture on their website and win nice stuff each week until Oct. 29th – the big price is a baking event here in Berlin. Cool, right? ;)
Well… I know, baking with one of these instant coffee powders seems a bit difficult cause you normally would just make a coffee with it, but it’s actually quite easy. You can flavor cakes and creams pretty good with it! I used two different cappuccino powders here: one is called Cappuccino Classico – it tastes like regular cappuccino – and the other one was Cappuccino Double Chocolate. The first one ended up in the cheesecake filling and the chocolate one in the cream for the decoration. I have to say a good decision I made there. Tasted really good :)
Like most no-bake cakes, this one here is also not very complicated to make. It just takes time to prepare and wait to cool. The base is made out of cookie crumbles and marzipan, the cheesecake layer is made with mascarpone, ricotta and the cappuccino powder, the finish is a chocolate flavored cream. So delicious!

7 oz. (200g) chocolate shortbread cookies
1.7 oz. (30g) almond paste or marzipan, grated
1/2 cup (120g) butter, melted

8.8 oz. (250g) mascarpone
8.8 oz. (250g) ricotta cheese
1/3 cup (45g) confectioners’ sugar
7 oz. (200g) heavy cream
For the decoration:
14 oz. (400g) heavy cream
2 tbsp. KRÜGER Cappuccino Double Chocolate
1/4 cup (30g) confectioners’ sugar
cocoa powder for dusting
200g Schokoladenbutterkekse
30g Mandelpaste oder Marzipan, geraspelt
120g Butter, geschmolzen
Für die Käsekuchenschicht:
6 Blatt Gelatine
3 Eigelb (M)
50g Zucker
200ml Milch
50g KRÜGER Cappuccino Classico Pulver
250g Mascarpone
250g Ricotta
45g Puderzucker
200g Schlagsahne
Für die Dekoration:
400g Schlagsahne
2 EL KRÜGER Cappuccino Double Schoko Pulver
30g Puderzucker

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Place the gelatin leaves in a bowl with cold water and let soak for 5-8 minutes. Mix the egg yolks with the sugar and set aside. Add the milk to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the instant cappuccino powder and mix in well. Add the egg yolk mixture and stir constantly until the mixture thickens. Let cook and bubble for a moment, then remove from the heat. Let cool down a bit. Drain the gelatin leaves, add to the saucepan and stir until dissolved completely. Set the custard aside to cool down.
3. Mix the mascarpone with ricotta cheese and confectioners’ sugar in a large bowl until well combined. Take two tablespoons of that mixture and mix into the cooled cappuccino custard. Repeat twice, then pour the cappuccino custard into the bowl with the remaining mascarpone mixture and mix to combine. Set aside to cool down. Add the heavy cream to a tall bowl and mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. As soon as the custard mixture is cooled down to about room temperature, fold in the whipped cream, then pour into the prepared springform tin, smooth out the top and place in the fridge for 6 hours or over night.
4. When cake is still cooling, heat up the heavy cream for the decoration a bit and mix with the chocolate instant coffee powder. Place in the fridge to get cold again. To finish the cake add the flavored heavy cream with the confectioners’ sugar in a tall bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. Fill the cream into a piping bag with a rose tip (looks like a raindrop) and decorate the cheesecake with waves (or any other way you like). Place the cheesecake in the fridge again for at least 30-45 minutes. Dust with cocoa powder right before serving.
2. Die Gelatineblätter in eine kleine Schüssel mit kaltem Wasser legen und für 5-8 Minuten einweichen lassen. Die Eigelbe mit dem Zucker verrühren und zur Seite stellen. Die Milch in einen Topf geben und zum Kochen bringen. Das Cappuccinopulver dazugeben und unterrühren, bis es sich komplett aufgelöst hat. Die Eigelbmischung unter ständigem Rühren dazugeben und unterrühren, bis die Mischung anfängt anzudicken. Für eine Minute blubbern lassen und dann vom Herd nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen. Die Gelatineblätter ausdrücken und dann unter die Masse rühren – sie sollten sich komplett aufgelöst haben. Den entstandenen Pudding jetzt zur Seite stellen und abkühlen lassen.
3. Den Mascarpone mit dem Ricotta in einer Schüssel mit dem Puderzucker verrühren. Von dieser Masse zwei Eßlöffel in den Cappuccino Pudding (sollte nicht mehr heiß sein) geben und unterrühren. Das Ganze noch zwei mal wiederholen, dann die Puddingmasse komplett in die Schüssel mit dem verbliebenen Mascarpone und Ricotta schütten und alles verrühren. Zur Seite stellen und abkühlen lassen. Die Sahne in einem hohen Gefäß steif schlagen und dann unter die möglichst nur noch handwarme Cappuccino-Creme ziehen. Alles in die vorbereitete Springform füllen, die Oberfläche glätten und dann für mindestens 6 Stunden oder über Nacht in den Kühlschrank stellen.
4. Während der Kuchen noch kühlt, die Sahne kurz erhitzen und mit dem Kakao-Cappuccinopulver verrühren (löst sich dann besser auf). Zurück in den Kühlschrank stellen und wieder runterkühlen lassen. Sobald der Kuchen für die Dekoration bereit ist, die Sahne mit dem Puderzucker steifschlagen und dann in einen Spritzbeutel mit einer großen Rosentülle (Tropfenform) füllen. Den Käsekuchen in Wellenform (oder wie auch immer ihr wollt) dekorieren und dann noch einmal für 30-45 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen. Vor dem Servieren mit Kakaopulver bestäuben und dann geniessen!

Ingredients
For the base
- 7 oz. (200g) chocolate shortbread cookies
- 1.7 oz. (30g) almond paste or marzipan, grated
- 1/2 cup (120g) butter, melted
For the cheesecake layer
- 6 gelatin leaves
- 3 medium egg yolks
- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
- 6.7 fl. oz. (200ml) milk
- 1.7 oz. (50g) KRÜGER Cappuccino Classico

- 2 tbsp. KRÜGER Cappuccino Double Chocolate
- 1/4 cup (30g) confectioners’ sugar

Instructions
- Line a 9 inches (23cm) springform tin with baking parchment and set aside. Add the chocolate cookies to a large freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin until you get very fine crumbs, add to a bowl. Grate the almond paste/marzipan finely (works best if you place it in the freezer for some time in advance) – add to the bowl as well. Melt the butter, add to the bowl and mix until all crumbs are moist. Pour into the prepared tin and press to the bottom to form a nice base. Place in the fridge until needed.
- Place the gelatin leaves in a bowl with cold water and let soak for 5-8 minutes. Mix the egg yolks with the sugar and set aside. Add the milk to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the instant cappuccino powder and mix in well. Add the egg yolk mixture and stir constantly until the mixture thickens. Let cook and bubble for a moment, then remove from the heat. Let cool down a bit. Drain the gelatin leaves, add to the saucepan and stir until dissolved completely. Set the custard aside to cool down.

*I have partnered with KRÜGER FAMILY to bring you this delicious Cappuccino Cheesecake. That is why I have to declare this here in Germany as Advertising. All I wrote in this article is still based on my own opinion and has not been affected by anybody :)
Yay! I *love* cheesecake! ^_^
Also, my Mom hates almond paste/marzipan… Is there a good substitute?
Hi Kaitlyn,
the marzipan/almond paste is in there mostly for the flavors – if somebody does not like it, you can leave it out and add some more cookies instead :)
Cheers,
Marc
Hello!
I really like this recipe but can you please advice me about the replacement for KRÜGER products? :)
Cheers,
Konrad.
Hi Konrad,
you can use any instant coffee powder to flavor the cake if you don’t have the KRÜGER product at hand.
Cheers,
Marc
