Segment 5 (Cheryl’s Recipe Corner)

• Tiramisu Cheesecake

• Description

• I love Tiramisu, but can’t make it at home because it’s very hard to find Ladyfinger Pastries in a rural area. SO, I stumbled across this recipe today, and it seems like it might be worth giving it a shot… and it appears to be super simple, so that’s another huge plus! 🙂

• Ingredients

• 1 package (12 ounces) vanilla wafers

• teaspoons instant coffee granules, divided

• tablespoons hot water, divided

• 4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten

• 1 cup whipped topping

• 1 tablespoon baking cocoa

• Directions

• Preheat oven to 325°. Layer half of the wafers in a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons coffee granules in 2 tablespoons hot water; brush 1 tablespoon mixture over wafers. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in sour cream. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until blended. Remove half of the filling to another bowl. Dissolve remaining coffee granules in remaining hot water; stir into one portion of filling. Spread over wafers. Layer remaining wafers over top; brush with remaining dissolved granules. Spread with remaining filling. Bake 40-45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides from dish with a knife. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled. To serve, spread with whipped topping. Dust with cocoa. Yield: 12 servings.
