Big Weather's Big Recipe: Tiramisu Cheesecake Dessert
Those of you with a sweet tooth and a love of all things coffee really need to give this one a try.

I love dessert. Duh.



And I really love Tiramisu. So my wife and daughter came across this recipe years ago and made it for me, and it's still one of my faves today: Tiramisu Cheesecake Dessert. Let's get to it!



Ingredients


Pam Cooking Spray


4 bricks of cream cheese, room temperature


1 Cup of Sugar


8oz. Sour Cream, room temperature


4 eggs, room temperature


1 Box of Vanilla Wafers


2 3/4 teaspoons of instant coffee


2 T Hot Water


1 Tub of Cool Whip



Hershey's Cocoa Powder



Preparation


1. Spray 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray


2. Line with half the box of vanilla wafers


3. Combine the water and 2 teaspoons of instant coffee and paint about half of it on wafers


4. In a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream


5. Mix until combined


6. Add the 4 eggs, and mix again until just combined


7. Divide the cheese mixture.


8. Mix in 3/4 teaspoon of ground coffee into one of the mixtures



9. Pour the coffee cheese mixture over the cookies and spread evenly.


10. Add the rest of the cookies on top of the cheese layer


11. Paint them with the rest of the coffee water


12. Pour second half of the cheese over the wafer layer and smooth evenly


13. Bake in oven at 350 for about 45 minutes or until the center is just a little jiggly


14. Let sit for 10 minutes on cooling rack, then run a knife around the edge and let it cool completely


15. Store in refrigerator overnight


16. Slice a piece of it and cover the top with cool whip, then sprinkle with the cocoa powder



It takes a little bit of work and patience, but, as the great Alton Brown says, your patience will be rewarded. I hope you enjoy it!
