Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ladyfinger cookies (about 7 oz / 200 g)
- 1 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled (240 ml)
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened (452 g)
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened (226 g)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (120 g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (360 ml)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- Chocolate curls (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Dip Ladyfingers: In a shallow bowl, combine the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into this mixture and arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of the pan.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until light and fluffy.
- Layer It Up: Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the ladyfingers. Add another layer of the dipped ladyfingers followed by spreading the remaining filling on top.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 360 minutes, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
- Serve: Just before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder and, if desired, garnish with chocolate curls. Slice into bars using a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts to achieve bakery-style edges.
Notes
Chill thoroughly overnight for the best flavor and texture. Use quality ingredients like fresh espresso for optimal taste.
