Ingredients
- 1 oz ladyfinger cookies
- 4 tbsp butter (melted)
- 4 tbsp coffee flavored liqueur
- 24 cup cream cheese
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup white sugar
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the bottom of oven.
- Crush the package of ladyfingers to fine crumbs. Mix the melted butter into the crumbs. Moisten with 2 tablespoons of the coffee liqueur. Press into an 8 or 9 inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, mascarpone, and sugar until very smooth. Add 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur, and mix. Add the eggs and the flour; mix SLOWLY until just smooth. The consistency of the mascarpone can vary. If the cheesecake batter is too thick, add a little cream. Do not overmix at this point. Pour batter into crust.
