Iced Coffee Cheesecake

Sharing is caring!

Cheesecake is one of my favorite treats and when I was given the challenge of using International Delight Light Iced Coffee in a recipe I knew I would make cheesecake.

I made a few other desserts (Here’s an Iced Coffee pudding recipe ), but this is, hands down, my favorite dessert.

International Delight Light Iced Coffee is available at Walmart in the Dairy section. My store carries the Vanilla and Mocha flavor. The Vanilla is so smooth, creamy, and delicious and the light version only has 100 calories per serving….way less than most drinks from coffee shops.

I love that drinking International Delight Light Iced Coffee saves me money AND calories.

This is the first cheesecake I’ve made that actually turned out perfect. The top didn’t crack and it didn’t weep. Sometimes cheesecake gets moisture build up on the top as it cools. Neither one happened on this cake…

I’m attributing it to the addition of the Light Iced Coffee.

The Light Iced Coffee topping makes it even better. Oh, and it tastes so incredibly good. This will now be my go-to dessert to take to family and friends.

Here’s the roundup of ingredients needed.

Graham Cracker Crust:

Smash up the graham crackers

Mix a little sugar and butter with the graham crackers.

Press into the pan.

I used a pie pan because I don’t have the traditional springform pan. You can use either one.

Start mixing up your ingredients. I used a hand blender, but really, anything that will really mix the items together will work: fork, spoon, stand mixer, etc.

Adding the International Delight Light Iced Coffee to the cheesecake mixture.

Pour into the pan and slide into the oven. Now, patiently wait for it to bake……

After you have pulled the cheesecake out of the oven, let it cool down and then place in your fridge for at least 6 hours. Before serving whip up this tasty sauce to serve on the cheesecake.

You’ll need International Delight Light Iced Coffee, heavy whipping cream and cornstarch.

Cut a slice of pie, drizzle some sauce over top and enjoy!!
