Strawberry Cheesecake Tiramisu Food

EASY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• For the soaking syrup: Line an 8-inch or 9-inch round springform pan with plastic wrap, allowing it to drape over the sides. Set aside.
• Mix the espresso, brown sugar and rum in a bowl large enough to fit a ladyfinger, then set aside.
• For the mascarpone cream: Beat the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on low speed to combine. Scrape the bowl and whip on medium-high until smooth. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the heavy cream and then the vanilla and coffee liqueur. (The mixture will look like thin cheesecake batter.) Gradually raise the mixer speed to medium and whip until the cream has reached medium peaks, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• To assemble: Break a ladyfinger in half and give it a quick dip in the soaking syrup, then place in the bottom of the lined pan. Repeat this process to create one layer of dipped ladyfingers. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped chocolate over the ladyfingers. Spoon about a third of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers and spread until smooth.
• Repeat the ladyfinger dipping and arranging process to create a second layer of ladyfingers over the cream. Sprinkle on the remaining tablespoon chopped chocolate. Top with the remaining cream and spread smooth. Wrap with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours, or up to overnight.
• Two hours before serving, unlatch the pan and remove the tiramisu from the pan and plastic wrap to a serving platter. Sprinkle the top of the tiramisu with the cocoa powder.

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine the limoncello and 1/3 cup of the sugar in a large bowl. Chop 12 ounces of strawberries (about 10 strawberries) into 1/2-inch chunks (you should have about 2 cups chopped) and add to the limoncello. Stir to combine and set aside to macerate while you make the cheesecake filling.
• Whip the heavy cream in a medium bowl with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes; set aside.
• Beat the cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, sour cream, vanilla and the remaining 1 cup sugar in a large bowl with the electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently fold in the whipped cream with a large rubber spatula.
• Strain the limoncello into a medium bowl (you will need this to soak the ladyfingers) and fold the strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.
• Working quickly, gently dip the ladyfingers into the limoncello for 1 second on each side, then stand them around the ring of an 8-inch springform pan. Layer the ladyfingers on the bottom of the pan, cutting the cookies as needed to make one even layer. Spoon 1/3 of the cheesecake mixture on top and spread with an offset spatula. Repeat two more times with another layer of limoncello-dipped ladyfingers and 1/3 of the cheesecake mixture to make 3 layers total.
• Thinly slice the remaining 4 ounces of strawberries and decorate the top of the cake. Microwave the jam in a glass measuring cup until it is warmed and melted, 15 to 30 seconds. Brush the berries with the jam to glaze them. Refrigerate until the cheesecake is firm to the touch and the ladyfingers are softened, 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Loosen the clasps of the pan to release the pan ring before slicing and serving.

• Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; gradually beat in condensed milk. Mix in lemon juice and vanilla extract, then beat in eggs on low speed until just combined. Pour half of cream cheese mixture over crust; drop half of reserved strawberry sauce by 1/2 teaspoonfuls on cream cheese layer. Carefully spoon remaining cream cheese mixture over sauce; drop remaining strawberry sauce by 1/2 teaspoonfuls on top. Cut through top layer only with a knife to swirl strawberry sauce.
• Bake in preheated oven until center is almost set, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Serve reserved strawberry sauce with cheesecake. If the sauce it too thick, stir in water.
