Costco Tiramisu Cheesecake Recipe Ingredients

For the Cocoa Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups crushed ladyfingers
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 3 cups (24 oz) cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup cold brew coffee concentrate
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Mascarpone Topping:

• 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cocoa powder for dusting

How To Make Costco Tiramisu Cheesecake

1. Prepare and Bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix the crushed ladyfingers with cocoa powder and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let the crust cool.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. In a large bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until each is incorporated.
3. Add Final Filling Ingredients: Mix in the sour cream, cold brew coffee, and vanilla extract until the filling is smooth.
4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake for about 55 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
5. Cool the Cheesecake: Turn off the oven and crack open the door. Let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour to help prevent cracking. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
6. Chill the Cheesecake: Once at room temperature, cover the cheesecake and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
7. Prepare the Topping: In a chilled bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and forms soft, spreadable peaks.
8. Finish and Serve: Carefully spread the mascarpone mixture over the top of the chilled cheesecake. Dust the top generously with cocoa powder before serving.

Recipe Tips

• How do I prevent my cheesecake from cracking? There are three key steps: use room temperature ingredients (especially cream cheese and eggs), do not over-beat the batter once the eggs are added, and let the cheesecake cool down slowly in the turned-off oven.
• How do I get a perfectly smooth filling? Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before you start. This allows it to beat into a smooth, creamy consistency without any lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently during mixing.
• Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, cheesecake is the perfect make-ahead dessert. You can bake it up to two days in advance and keep it chilled in the refrigerator. Add the mascarpone topping and cocoa powder on the day you plan to serve it for the best results.
• What if I don’t have a springform pan? A springform pan is highly recommended for easy removal. If you don’t have one, you can use a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan, but you will have to serve the cheesecake directly from the pan.

What To Serve With Tiramisu Cheesecake

This rich and decadent dessert is a showstopper on its own, but it’s even more delicious with:

• A hot cup of espresso or black coffee.
• A small glass of dessert wine, like a Vin Santo.
• A side of fresh raspberries to cut the richness.

How To Store Tiramisu Cheesecake

Store: The cheesecake must be stored in the refrigerator. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap or place it in a cake carrier. It will keep well for up to 5 days.
