Note
For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can increase the instant coffee to 1 tablespoon.
This cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent it from absorbing other odors.
For a variation, you can add a layer of caramel or chocolate ganache on top before chilling.
Make sure to dissolve the gelatin completely; if it's not fully dissolved, the cheesecake may not set properly.
