No-bake Tiramisu Cheesecake

I had three mascarpone packages in my fridge so it was about time to make something with at least one of them. When we talk about mascarpone, what else comes to your mind than tiramisu. Since I already have a recipe for traditional tiramisu on my blog, I decided to make No-bake Tiramisu Cheesecake. I don´t like using eggs in no-bake desserts so this tiramisu is eggless. Someone might say that this is not a real tiramisu, but I prefer this “fake” one than the taste of raw eggs. I´ve been thinking how to create a coffee flavor and it wouldn´t result in a coffee cheesecake at the same time, but in a proper tiramisu. I handled it this way: a little bit of coffee and ladyfingers create the basis for crust, then a cheesecake layer with grated lemon zest (since my tiramisu always contains a little bit of lemon zest which fits great to coffee), then ladyfingers dipped in coffee so we stick to the “tiramisu plan” and cheesecake layer with coffee in the end. Of course, the top should be sprinkled with cocoa.

Ingredients
Crust:

• 18 crushed ladyfingers (approximately 150 g)
• 45 g melted butter
• 7 tbsp coffee

Cheesecake:

• 400 ml heavy cream
• 500 g mascarpone
• 6 tbsp icing sugar
• 3 tbsp water
• 10 g gelatin powder
• Zest of ½ lemon
• Ladyfingers (approximately 14 pieces)
• 3 tbsp coffee
• Cocoa for decoration

Instructions
Crust:

1. Mix crushed ladyfingers with butter and coffee, add the mixture to the bottom of a baking pan. Spread and press down the ladyfinger mixture over the bottom of the pan using a spoon. Put the baking pan in a refrigerator.
2. Cheesecake:
3. In the bowl, whip heavy cream using a mixer.
4. Incorporate mascarpone into whipped cream. Add icing sugar, stir well.
