Tiramisu Cheesecake with a Hint of Rum
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup of sour cream
- 1/4 cup of rum
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, rum, and vanilla extract. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
- Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This will prevent the cheesecake from cracking while baking.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In a small bowl, combine the cooled brewed coffee and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Spread the mixture over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the coffee-cocoa layer.
- Dust the top of the cheesecake with 1/2 teaspoon of cocoa powder before serving. Enjoy!
