Tiramisu Cheesecake Recipe.

Ingredients:

For the crust:

2 cups ladyfingers, crushed
1/4 cup melted butter

For the cheesecake filling:

3 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp instant coffee or espresso powder, dissolved in 2 tbsp hot water
3 large eggs

For the mascarpone whipped cream:

1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Cocoa powder for dusting

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a bowl, combine crushed ladyfingers and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form the crust.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the dissolved coffee or espresso mixture to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Pour the tiramisu-flavored cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 55-60 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
While the cheesecake is chilling, prepare the mascarpone whipped cream.
In a mixing bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Once the cheesecake has chilled, remove it from the pan, slice, and serve with a dollop of mascarpone whipped cream on top.
Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
