Can I make Tiramisu Cold Brew Coffee Cheesecake ahead of time?

Can I add alcohol to the Tiramisu Cold Brew Coffee Cheesecake?

Yes! For an added kick, consider incorporating a splash of coffee liqueur, such as Kahlúa, into the coffee soak. This will enhance the coffee flavor and add a delightful complexity to the dessert.
