Ingredients
For The Crust
- 3 3½ ounces package of lady fingers
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons espresso
For The Filling
- 3 large eggs
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup mascarpone
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons espresso or instant coffee
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup flour
Instructions
How To Make The Crust
- Add the lady fingers to a food processor and process until completely fine.
- Add the melted butter and espresso and mix well.
- Spray and line a 9-inch springform pan, and add the crust to the bottom and push up the sides.
- Press the crust firmly, and bake it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes and remove.
How To Make The Filling
- Meanwhile the crust is cooling, beat the mascarpone and the cream cheese together until smooth, either using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
- Scrape down the sides and beat again a few times.
- Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and espresso and beat again.
- Mix in the flour and heavy cream and beat.
- Add in the eggs until smooth but barely incorporated, you don't want to overmix the eggs.
- Place the mix on top of the crust, then place it in a water bath, and add boiling water halfway up to the side of the pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes until the center still jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven, prop the door slightly, and let it cool for 15 minutes before removing it.
- Cool it at room temperature for 30 minutes and serve your amazing Tiramisu Cheesecake. Enjoy!
Notes
- To achieve a smooth cheesecake filling, keep the ingredients at room temperature and start to make your fancy dessert.
- Avoid overmixing the ingredients of the cheesecake since the overmixing of creamy desserts causes air bubbles which will result in cracks in the cheesecake.
- For the best results, a water bath is recommended because the steam from the water keeps the oven moist and the warm water that surrounds the pan bakes the cheesecake from the outside to the center.
- Avoid overcooking while making your baked cheesecake recipe. The center should jiggle slightly and the edges will be set.
