Tiramisu Cheesecake
Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups crushed ladyfingers or graham crackers
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
For the cheesecake filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the topping:
1 cup whipped cream
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, mix crushed ladyfingers, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan and bake for 8 minutes. Let cool.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine espresso, instant coffee powder, and cinnamon. Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Drizzle half of the espresso mixture over it and swirl gently. Repeat with the remaining cheesecake batter and espresso mixture.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is just set. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Before serving, spread whipped cream on top and dust with cocoa powder. Slice and enjoy!
