Creamy Tiramisu Cheesecake image

The Italian word "tiramisu" means "pick-me-up" and refers to a dessert of ladyfinger sponge cake dipped in coffee, embracing mascarpone cheese. Work that in with cream cheese and you have a guaranteed picker-upper that redefines a classic. -Mrs. Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

I'm not a big fan of tiramisu, but this cheesecake was surprisingly good. The coffee flavor was subtle and the cheesecake itself was very creamy.

I've tried many tiramisu cheesecakes, but this one is by far the best. The mascarpone cheese gives it a rich, creamy flavor and the ladyfingers add a perfect touch of coffee flavor.
