Instructions

  • Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, whip the egg yolks until they are pale and light lemon colored.
    3 Egg yolks
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, pale whipped egg yolks, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
    16 ounces Cream cheese, 1 cup Powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • Prepare the Ladyfinger Layer: In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur (if using). Arrange half the ladyfingers in a single layer in the bottom of an 9x13 inch baking dish to cover the surface. Drizzle the ladyfingers with half the espresso mixture and dust with cocoa powder.
    1 cup Espresso, 1 tablespoon Coffee liqueur, 24 Ladyfinger cookies, Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Assemble the Dessert: Pour half the cheesecake filling over the soaked ladyfinger layer in the baking dish. Spread the filling evenly to create a smooth top.
  • Make the Second Layer: Lay the remaining ladyfinger cookies over the evenly smoothed filling. Drizzle the second half of the espresso mixture over the cookies. Carefully spoon the remaining cheesecake filling gently over the second layer of ladyfingers, spreading out so that the top is smooth.
  • Refrigerate and Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the cheesecake filling is set.
  • Garnish and Serve: Before serving, dust the top of the No-Bake Cheesecake Tiramisu with a generous amount of unsweetened cocoa powder. Use a fine-mesh sieve for a light and even dusting. Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Don't over-soak the ladyfingers; they should be slightly softened but not mushy.
  • Chill the dessert for at least 3 hours, but overnight is best, to allow the cheesecake filling to set completely.
  • Use a fine-mesh sieve to dust the cocoa powder for a professional-looking finish.
