Description

Ingredients
•
1 (12 ounce) package ladyfingers
•
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
•
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
•
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
•
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese, softened
•
1 cup white sugar
•
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
•
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
•
2 large eggs
•
1 teaspoon heavy cream, or more as needed
•
1/4 ounce semisweet chocolate
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the lowest oven rack.
2
To make the crust: Crush ladyfingers into fine crumbs. Place crumbs into a bowl with melted butter and coffee-flavored liqueur; stir until evenly combined. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
3
To make the filling: Beat cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until very smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix in coffee-flavored liqueur. Add flour and eggs; mix on low speed just until smooth. If batter seems too thick, mix in heavy cream. Pour batter over the crust.
4
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until just set, 40 to 45 minutes.
5
Open the oven door, turn off the heat, and leave cheesecake to cool on the center rack for 20 minutes.
6
Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 more minutes.
7
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
8
Just before serving, grate semisweet chocolate over the top.
