This rich and decadent no-bake Brownie Coffee Cheesecake features a creamy coffee cheesecake filling loaded with chunks of fudgy homemade brownies.
If you have been around my site, you know I love the concept of combining two desserts to make a fusion dessert. My Fudge Brownie Pecan Pie is one such recipe along with Cheesecake Brownie Cupcakes.
This yummy and easy cheesecake recipe combines a tasty no-bake coffee cheesecake with homemade brownie chunks. The fudge-like chunks of brownie are reminiscent of the brownie chunks in the Costco tuxedo cake!

⭐️ Why You Need to Make This Recipe
- Texture - This no-bake cheesecake is fluffy and lighter than a baked cheesecake. The Oreo crumb crust is slightly crunchy and the brownies are soft and fudge-like.
- Flavor - Like in my Coffee Nanaimo Bars, the coffee flavor goes so well with the chocolate brownies and crust in this cheesecake.
- Method - First, follow my simple recipe for Brownie Chunks, then make the crust, whip up the filling, fold in the brownies, and then just let it chill in the fridge - that's all there is to it!
🧈 Ingredients
Here are the ingredients needed to make this brownie coffee cheesecake.
Ingredient Notes
- Oreo Crumbs - Crushed-up Oreos without the filling. I think this cheesecake would be too sweet with the Oreo filling included.
- Cream Cheese - I only recommend Philadelphia brand cream cheese for any of my cheesecake recipes. Every time I have tried off-brand cream cheese, the result has not been nearly as good in texture or flavor.
- Instant Coffee - Instant coffee is used in this recipe for its potency. Only a small amount of water is required to dissolve the instant coffee, therefore not adding too much liquid to the batter to throw off the texture.
- Brownie Chunks - Here is how to make brownie chunks for this recipe!
See the recipe card for the full list of ingredients with measurements.
📃 Instructions
Step 1: Stir together the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of a wax paper-lined 9-inch springform pan.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and instant coffee dissolved in hot water.
Step 3: Cream for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
Step 4: Add the whipping cream and instant pudding mix. Whip on high speed until fluffy and smooth.
Step 5: Fold in the brownie chunks and then transfer to the pan and smooth on top of the crust.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before removing it from the springform pan and slicing it to serve. I like to serve this cheesecake with additional brownie chunks on top.
