Delicious Tiramisu Cheesecake Bars

This dessert features a buttery crust topped with a luscious cheesecake layer infused with coffee and mascarpone, followed by a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers. The bars are chilled until set and finished with a dusting of cocoa powder, making them a perfect end to any meal.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup mascarpone cheese
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
24 ladyfingers
Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Assemble the Bars: Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Dip ladyfingers in the coffee (and liqueur, if using) and layer them over the cheesecake. Pour the remaining cheesecake mixture on top.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the bars to firm up.
Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Cut into squares and enjoy your Tiramisu Cheesecake Bars.
