Make a creamy, no-bake cheesecake that combines the rich flavor of tiramisu with a smooth cheesecake texture, featuring coffee-soaked ladyfingers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 24-30 ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
  2. Beat the cream cheese and mascarpone cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture until smooth.
  4. Prepare the soaking liquid: Combine the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish.
  5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, one at a time. Do not over-soak.
  6. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers over the chilled crust. Break pieces if necessary to fit.
  7. Spread half of the cheesecake filling evenly over the ladyfinger layer.
  8. Add a second layer of dipped ladyfingers.
  9. Top with the remaining cheesecake filling and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  11. Before serving, carefully remove the springform ring. Dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use 1 1/2 cups of espresso for soaking.
  • If you prefer a baked version, bake the cheesecake at 325°F for 50-60 minutes and cool completely before adding the ladyfinger layers.
  • You can substitute vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies for the ladyfingers if needed.
