Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups heavy cream, whipped
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal.
In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl.
Add melted butter and granulated sugar to the graham cracker crumbs. Stir until evenly combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even crust. Place in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, instant espresso powder, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and the coffee granules are dissolved.
Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the coffee mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings over the top for added flavor and texture.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Once fully frozen, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 even bars.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
