A luxurious dessert that combines the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake with the classic coffee and cocoa flavors of traditional tiramisu, layered over a ladyfinger or graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed ladyfingers or graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine crushed ladyfingers or graham crackers with melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Mix in sour cream, espresso, vanilla, coffee liqueur (if using), and flour until smooth.
  6. Pour the batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  8. Remove and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over chilled cheesecake.
  10. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

  • Make a day in advance to allow flavors to fully develop.
  • Use mascarpone cheese in place of some cream cheese for a more authentic tiramisu flavor.
  • Chill thoroughly before slicing for clean cuts.
