Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- For the Chocolate Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Tiramisu Layer:
- 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup coffee liqueur
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat 24 oz softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled chocolate crust.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee and 1/4 cup coffee liqueur. Quickly dip both sides of 24 ladyfinger cookies into the coffee mixture and arrange them in a single layer on top of the chilled cheesecake.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 8 oz mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Spread the tiramisu layer over the ladyfingers.
- Dust the top with additional cocoa powder if desired. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
