Print Recipe

A rich and creamy fusion dessert combining the best of classic tiramisu and decadent cheesecake, layered with coffee-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 12–16 ladyfinger cookies
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar and mix until combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust.
  7. Dip ladyfingers quickly into the coffee mixed with liqueur (if using), and layer over the cheesecake batter.
  8. Spread the mascarpone cheese over the ladyfingers layer.
  9. Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top and smooth the surface.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  12. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps.
  • Do not over-soak ladyfingers or they will become soggy.
  • Let the cheesecake chill completely for best texture.
