Tiramisu Cheesecake Recipe! – Jane’s Patisserie

A scrumptious creamy tiramisu cheesecake recipe with a biscuit base, mascarpone cheesecake filling, espresso soak sponge fingers and extra

I’m genuinely telling the reality after I say that is my favorite cheesecake i’ve made up to now… it may need one thing to do with the truth that I am keen on tiramisu and cheesecake, however combining them is the most effective of the most effective. 

Tiramisu 

Google says that “Tiramisu is an Italian dessert fabricated from ladyfinger pastries, dipped in espresso, layered with a whipped combination of egg yolks, sugar, and mascarpone, and topped with cocoa powder.” and it’s one in every of my favorite desserts on the planet. I did develop up pondering I might hate tiramisu, as a result of I assumed I didn’t like espresso, however now as an grownup I realised it’s simply utterly totally different to what I assumed, and I do like espresso now anyway.

It’s a dessert that’s gentle, creamy and I at all times have room for it. The recipe for my tiramisu is in my third ebook, On a regular basis, and I’ve made it numerous occasions now. It’s as near correct as I could make it actually, utilizing the egg yolks, not including whipped cream and so on. Nevertheless, this cheesecake model is the completely satisfied twist of every thing. 

Cheesecakes

That is going to sound a little bit ridiculous, however within the now over ten years of working Jane’s Patisserie, I’ve revealed over 100 cheesecake recipes. This doesn’t appear fairly doable, however I did examine earlier than writing and realised I could have a little bit of an issue and obsession. 

I primarily publish no-bake cheesecake recipes as a result of I discover that they’re extra profitable within the quantity of views that they get, but additionally I usually want them. I do love baked cheesecakes, just like the traditional ny cheesecake, however I like the sunshine and candy creaminess of a no bake cheesecake. 

I sometimes use a biscuit base, usually with a digestive base, a easy no-bake filling of a cream cheese, sugar, cream and a flavour whipped collectively and on high of the bottom, and a few form of ornament. They’re fairly simple to make, however take some time to set – however I’ll at all times say that it’s value it. 

Traditional desserts with a twist

So everyone knows that I like so as to add two recipes collectively and make one thing new… I’m a little bit identified for it, and I like doing it, messing with the classics ever so barely. My newest ebook, Traditional, is popping out on the finish of July 2025 and it’s primarily based on the concept of the traditional desserts/bakes/concepts blended with traditional me. 

Merging collectively the concept of a traditional tiramisu, with a cheesecake, is clearly the premise for right this moment. I feel, resulting from the truth that a classically no-bake cheesecake is so creamy and lightweight, it might work wonders with the concepts of the tiramisu. Like with most merging recipes, I prefer to maintain the primary core of a recipe concerned, so on this case it’s the mascarpone, sponge fingers, and the creamy cocoa powder. 

Biscuit base

On a typical biscuit base, I take advantage of a ratio of 300g of biscuits, and infrequently about 150g of melted butter. I normally use digestives as I want the flavour it creates for a biscuit base, however you should utilize different biscuits. Nevertheless, as a result of this recipe additionally has to slot in the sponge fingers, I purposely went for a smaller ratio of base. 

I blitz the biscuits to a very advantageous crumb utilizing a meals processor/blender, after which I combine within the melted butter. I discover it greatest to ensure the biscuit base is tremendous advantageous because it tends to stay collectively higher to stop a crumbly base. When you don’t have a meals processor, you should utilize a bowl/bag with a rolling pin as an alternative, clearly. Combine the butter in to make a moist sandy texture, after which I take advantage of an 8″/20cm springform cake tin for my cheesecakes as I discover it the proper depth and dimension of a cheesecake. 

Cheesecake filling

The cheesecake filling on this tiramisu cheesecake is definitely fairly easy, and it’s wanted actually. I take advantage of a mixture of full-fat mascarpone cream cheese, icing sugar, double cream, vanilla extract and low liqueur for the combination – and it’s delightfully moreish. 

I add the mascarpone, which you actually ought to use to make it extra like a traditional tiramisu in comparison with a tender cheese like philadelphia, after which the icing sugar, vanilla extract and low liqueur into the bowl. I whip these collectively till mixed and easy, after which I add the double cream and whip once more till thick. You may substitute the espresso liqueur for dissolved espresso should you don’t wish to use alcohol. 

I at all times add the double cream in liquid, after which whip every thing collectively, however you possibly can whip the cream individually after which fold by means of the remainder of the combination. It’s essential to make use of full-fat cream cheese and cream to make it possible for the recipe units – you should utilize a decrease fats one, however it’s essential to use a setting agent similar to gelatine (which is able to change the feel of the bake)

Sponge fingers 

As with a traditional Tiramisu, they HAD to be within the cheesecake. I created a mix of instantaneous espresso, boiling water and low liqueur and let this cool earlier than making this layer of cheesecake. I take advantage of a robust espresso combine as I am keen on the flavour and I am keen on espresso liqueur, however you should utilize simply espresso if you wish to keep away from alcohol. 

The biscuit base is on the underside of the tin, I evenly unfold on half of the cheesecake combination and then you definately add the sponge fingers. I used one packet of sponge fingers as a result of it was the proper quantity for one layer within the cheesecake. I soak the sponge finger briefly within the espresso combination, after which add it onto the cheesecake and create a layer of sponge fingers. Most of them keep gap to make the cheesecake simpler to chop as soon as set, however I do fill within the gaps as effectively. 

Cream topping 

I let the cheesecake set in a single day as I at all times suppose longer the higher in relation to a cheesecake, as a result of when it’s the following day it’s very easy to take the cheesecake out of the springform cake tin as you possibly can simply unclip and pull the tin off with out disrupting the bake. 

The cream topping resembles the look of a tiramisu, even with out being completely correct. I used a mixture of double cream, icing sugar and vanilla bean extract whipped to tender peaks (I hate to overwhip cream because it doesn’t pipe effectively – it’ll agency up when piping normally). I used a spherical piping tip when piping the cream on high of the set cheesecake. 

And for the long-lasting look, I add a little bit dusting of cocoa powder to the highest of the cheesecake – for flavour, for adornment, for deliciousness. It’s a easy but affective approach of adorning a tiramisu cheesecake.
