No-Bake Tiramisu Cheesecake Cups

  • Author: Nora Winslow
  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

A creamy, rich, and easy no-bake dessert combining classic tiramisu flavors with a cheesecake texture, served in individual cups for effortless elegance.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 24 ladyfingers
  • 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur

Instructions

  1. Prepare the espresso soak by brewing 1 cup of strong espresso or coffee and let it cool completely. Stir in 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur if using. Pour into a shallow bowl for dipping ladyfingers.
  2. In a large bowl, beat mascarpone cheese and softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
  4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso soak for 1-2 seconds, avoiding sogginess. Break in half if needed to fit cups. Place a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of each cup.
  5. Spoon or pipe a generous layer of the creamy filling over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with another layer of filling, smoothing the top.
  6. Cover cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to let flavors meld and filling set.
  7. Just before serving, dust the tops generously with unsweetened cocoa powder using a sifter or fine mesh strainer.

Notes

Do not over-soak ladyfingers to avoid sogginess. Use full-fat mascarpone and cream cheese for best creaminess. Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Fold whipped cream gently into cheese mixture to keep it airy. Assemble the night before for best flavor. Optional coffee liqueur adds boozy depth. Dust cocoa powder just before serving.
