Tiramisu Cheesecake Recipe 2017/06/28

Are you undecided on making cheesecake or tiramisu?

Let’s make both together in one recipe!

Ingredients

• 250 gr of dry cookies
• 150 gr of butter
• 100 gr of sugar
• 200 gr of cream cheese
• 500 gr of mascarpone
• 10 gr of gelatin sheets or unflavored gelatin
• 1 coffee
• Cocoa powder (optional)

We begin with 3 different preparations:

- Crush the cookies in a blender. You can also put them inside of a well closed bag and crush them with a rolling pin

- Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water

- Melt the butter at double boiler

Add the melted butter and the coffee to the crushed cookies

If you wish, you can sweeten the coffee. In this preparation I haven’t done that so I don’t add more calories to the dessert and make it heavier from a nutritional point of view, also because the cookies I’ve used are sweet

Mix until the mixture is well combined

Pour the cookies in a baking mold covered with oven paper and press them with a spoon to distribute them nicely at the base. Put in the fridge while preparing the cream

This is the preparation for the cream: add the mascarpone, the cream cheese and the sugar, and mix well. You can use a beater if you prefer

Remove the gelatin from the water and wring out well

Put it in a casserole and let it melt at slow heat. It will only take a minute

Remove from the fire, add a tablespoon of the cream and mix

Add the obtained liquid to the remaining cream and stir well

Pour the cream on top of the cookie base and put it back in the fridge for a couple of hours

The Cheesecake is ready, but it wouldn’t be tiramisu without cocoa powder. Personally I don’t like that flavor, but I couldn’t give up a chocolate decoration: for this reason, I decided to make a design with a dessert template. You can add chocolate chips, sweets, sprinkles or colored sugar to taste

I don’t recommend the cover glaze of fruits of the forest, typical of Cheesecake, because the taste contrasts in an unpleasant way with the coffee

Despite the presence of the coffee, this cake is also appropriate for children. Choose the kit for your child’s birthday party!
