Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
• 1 tablespoon hot water
• 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
• 1 cup white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur (optional)

Essential gear: a standard 9-inch springform pan, a mixer, and a baking sheet.

The espresso is truly the star of the show here, delivering that iconic tiramisu flavor. The creamy decadence of the cheesecake is amplified by the rich mascarpone cheese, and the coffee-flavored liqueur adds an extra layer of sophistication. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the liqueur.

How To Make Tiramisu Cheesecake

1. Firstly, preheat the oven to 350��F. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press onto the bottom of a springform pan. Bake this for about 10 minutes, then let it cool.
2. In a small bowl, mix the instant coffee granules with hot water until dissolved. Set aside.
3. Now, let’s work on the filling. With your mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Incorporate the eggs into the mixture, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4. Then, add heavy cream, flour, brewed coffee and liqueur to the mixture. Lastly, add the dissolved coffee granules. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and pour this mixture onto your cooled crust.
5. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes. Once done, the center must still be a little jiggly. Allow it to cool and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for the best results.

Tips For The Best Results

• Cheesecake loves a moisture environment. Thus, placing a pan of water in the oven along with the cheesecake can create a bain-marie and help prevent cracks.
• Don’t rush the chilling time. As tough as the wait might be, this really solidifies the flavor and texture.
• Use quality ingredients – this will make all the difference in your cheesecake. Particularly, use a good quality instant coffee granules and mascarpone cheese.

Storage Tips

• Store the Tiramisu Cheesecake in the refrigerator, covered, for up to one week.
• This cheesecake can also be frozen if needed. Just be sure to tightly wrap it in plastic before freezing
