Create a rich, creamy fusion dessert combining classic tiramisu flavors with a smooth cheesecake texture. This no-bake recipe uses an Oreo crust and espresso-soaked ladyfingers for an elegant, simple treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 package (7 ounces) ladyfingers
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Fold in the softened mascarpone cheese until the filling is uniform and creamy. Do not overmix.
  5. Prepare the ladyfingers: Pour the cooled espresso into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
  6. Assemble the layers: Arrange a single layer of espresso-soaked ladyfingers over the chilled Oreo crust. Break them if necessary to fit.
  7. Spread half of the cheesecake filling evenly over the ladyfingers.
  8. Add a second layer of espresso-soaked ladyfingers over the filling.
  9. Top with the remaining cheesecake filling and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Chill the cheesecake: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  11. Before serving, carefully remove the springform ring. Dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso powder mixed with hot water instead of brewed espresso.
  • If you do not have ladyfingers, you can use graham crackers for the middle layer, dipped briefly in coffee.
  • Use a fine-mesh sieve to dust the cocoa powder evenly for the best visual result.
