Mini Tiramisu Cheesecakes are a delightful twist on the traditional Italian dessert. These bite-sized treats combine the creamy richness of cheesecake with the bold coffee and mascarpone flavors of tiramisu, offering the perfect balance of sweetness and coffee intensity. With no baking required, they’re easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion, whether for parties, family gatherings, or a cozy indulgence. Customize them with different toppings or make them gluten-free or dairy-free to suit various dietary needs.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup melted butter

1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

1 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)

1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom of mini cheesecake pans or muffin tins, using the back of a spoon to compact.

  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and mascarpone until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  3. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.

  4. Assemble the Cheesecakes: In a small dish, combine cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them too long. Layer the dipped ladyfingers over the crust.

  5. Fill the Mini Cheesecakes: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the ladyfingers in each mini cheesecake. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

  6. Refrigerate: Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

  7. Serve: Before serving, dust each mini cheesecake with cocoa powder.

Notes

  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs for a gluten-free version.

  • Non-Alcoholic: Omit the coffee liqueur for a kid-friendly version.

  • Tiramisu Flavor Swap: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cheesecake filling for extra flavor.
