Have you tried the tiramisu cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory yet? It is definitely one of my favorites! If you have’t tried it yet, then don’t even bother! Why not? Because you can make this version at home which might even be a smidgen better than their version! This tiramisu cheesecake is crazy good. The crust is made from soft lady fingers, brushed with coffee. The cheesecake filling is absolutely perfect! It has a touch of coffee so it is not too overpowering and it even baked up without one crack in it! That’s not something you can say about every cheesecake recipe. Now let’s talk about the topping. It is insane….heavy cream and mascarpone cheese….need I say more?
This amazing recipe was adapted from All That’s Jas! Be sure to check out her fabulous blog for other amazing recipes and creations! I know I will be back there visiting too! She hit a homerun with this cake!
