Ingredients

  • 200g digestive biscuits or ladyfingers, crushed
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 500g mascarpone cheese
  • 200ml heavy whipping cream
  • 100g powdered sugar
  • 1 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Optional: dark chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
  3. Layering: Divide the mascarpone filling into two parts. Take half and spread it over the chilled crust. Drizzle some cooled espresso over this layer, then add the second half of the mascarpone mixture on top. Drizzle more espresso and smooth it out.
  4. Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  5. Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and enjoy your delicious no-bake tiramisu cheesecake!
