Description
Tiramisu Cheesecake combines the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake with the bold flavors of tiramisu, featuring a coffee-soaked crust and a cocoa dusting on top.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons coffee liqueur (optional)
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, coffee liqueur, and espresso powder until well combined.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the top is slightly golden. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder and serve chilled.
Notes
Gluten-free crust: Substitute the graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free crumbs or ground almonds.
Non-alcoholic version: Skip the coffee liqueur and add more instant espresso powder.
Chocolate drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate on top of the whipped cream before dusting with cocoa powder for extra indulgence.
