If there was ever a match made in delicious-sweets heaven, it is the union of tiramisu and no-bake cheesecake. Tiramisu’s flavors (espresso, chocolate, mascarpone) play so well with rich and creamy cheesecake that it can only be said they were made for each other. Plus, is there anything more fun than a ladyfinger crust?
To make said crust, you‘ll mix crushed ladyfingers and melted butter with just a touch of cocoa and espresso powders, then press the mixture into a springform pan. As it freezes, you’ll whip up the super-simple filling, which is heavy on the mascarpone and flavored with espresso powder and coffee-flavored liqueur. Tiramisu is traditionally made with marsala wine, but a coffee liqueur like Kahlua is not only both slightly sweet and espresso-flavored, but also flavored with rum, which is wonderful with both mascarpone and chocolate.
