The Best No Bake Tiramisu Cheesecake
Need an amazing dessert to perfectly round off your dinner? This delicious creamy tiramisu cheesecake will knock your socks off! Best of all, this cheesecake is a no bake cake so you can keep your oven off this summer!
First off, can we just agree that combining two cakes into one is the most brilliant invention since the sliced bread?
Tiramisu means “pick me up”, “cheer me up” or “lift me up”) and it’s a coffee-flavored Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and creamy mascarpone cheese and flavored with cocoa. The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of cakes and other desserts.
NGREDIENTS:
Crust:
18 ladyfingers, coarsely chopped or crushed
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons strong coffee
Cheesecake layer:
1 tablespoon (or 1 envelope) unflavored powdered gelatin (optional)
½ cup boiling water
16 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup sugar
1 ¾ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon strong coffee
Ladyfinger layer:
12-14 ladyfingers
1 cup strong coffee
Tiramisu layer:
8 oz. Mascarpone Cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup cold Heavy Whipping Cream
2 tablespoons Sugar
Chocolate ganache:
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
~ Free Tip ~
See post for layer suggestions.
Carefully slide a pie server under the crust, making sure it reaches all the way to the tip of the wedge (the first slice is the most difficult and messy to remove).
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1
Crust and cheesecake layer
Combine the crushed ladyfingers with melted butter and espresso. You can crush them using a food processor or put them in a Ziploc bag and roll over with a rolling pin until coarsely crushed. Press the mixture into an 8-inch springform.
In a small bowl, pour boiling water over gelatin. Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Let cool slightly. If it cools too much and it hardens, microwave for 15-20 seconds. Do not boil. This step is optional. I have never had luck getting the filling firm enough without the gelatin.
