Tiramisu Cheesecake




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




Butter for greasing pan
1 (20-ounce) pound cake (store bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup strong coffee, preferably espresso
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 ounces sweet chocolate, such as a plain milk chocolate candy bar, minced
1 teaspoon Dutch-processed cocoa powder


Recipe



1. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Cut half of the pound cake into 1/2-inch slices. Place them in a single layer in the bottom of a prepared springform pan. Fit them in patchwork style, pushing pieces together to form a complete layer of cake at the bottom of the pan.

3. In a medium bowl, combine brandy, vanilla, sugar and coffee; stir to dissolve sugar. Cut remaining pound cake into 1/2-inch cubes. Add to bowl and gently toss to coat cake cubes with syrup. Set aside.

4. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, mix cream cheese on low speed until softened, about 1 minute. Add sugar and mix on low until blended, scraping down sides of bowl a couple of times. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix only until well-blended.

5. Place half of the cream cheese mixture in prepared pan. Sprinkle with cubed pound cake. Press down gently so that part of the cubes sink down into the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with minced chocolate. Add remaining cream cheese mixture. Smooth top with a rubber spatula.

6. Place cocoa powder in a fine sieve and sprinkle on top of cheesecake. Wrap heavy-duty aluminum foil around the outside of the springform pan. Place pan in a large roasting or baking pan. Place baking pan containing springform pan in oven and fill outside pan with enough water to come 1 inch up the side of the springform pan.

7. Bake 55 minutes or until lightly colored and cheesecake looks set (it can still jiggle slightly in the center). Remove cheesecake from hot water. Place on wire rack and cover loosely with paper towel. Allow to cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and chill thoroughly.
