I wanted to make an outstanding New Year's dessert for my family . Since I love cheesecake as well as tiramisu I combined ingredients for a rich creamy cheesecake dessert ( unbaked ) which contains no eggs ( Typically Tiramisu has eggs ). Read more . I saw many baked Tiramisu cheesecake recipes on the Net. But I wanted my recipe to be as close to Tiramisu as possible for taste & texture and without being baked plus looking like cheesecake when sliced . Knock your socks off dessert ! Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese |
8 oz marscapone cheese |
1/2 cup sugar |
4 oz sour cream |
4 oz heavy cream |
4 oz whipped topping thawed |
( use 1/2 of 8 oz container ) |
1 tbs white rum |
1, 7 oz pkg of italian ladyfingers ( savoiardi *) |
( you will have some leftover ) |
1 cup brewed cold coffee or espresso |
1 oz white rum |

13. Optional :
14. Place some chocolate ganache in a squirt bottle and spiral over cheesecake top starting with small circles working center outwards.
15. Take a toothpick and spread across ganache forming a web design.
16. Cover cheesecake with foil and refrigerate 12 hours or longer to firm up mixture.
17. When ready to serve, carefully remove sides of pan and cut out pieces lifting off with a wide spatula.
18. Garnish with strawberries and powered sugar/cocoa if desired.
19. You can also use the chocolate ganache to form a design on the serving plate if you wish. Serves 8.
