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.
