Tiramisu Cheesecake

Who's jealous? =p So, Rei and I were just talking the other night and he asked if I knew how to make tiramisu cheesecake. And uninterestedly, I said no! The same night, my brother asked me if I could make him a tiramisu cheesecake for his potluck party. Immediately, I said, "sure I can look up for recipes in my cookbooks." =p

I had to do a trial run with this cake because I did an experiment and added my own twist to the recipe. The recipe I found in my baking book and the one I found online do not use ladyfingers as part of the filling. It was either to be lined vertically on the side of the cake, or make the ladyfingers as the crust of the cheesecake. But, to me, it isn't a tiramisu if it does not have those ladyfinger cookies or sponge cake soaked in a mixture of coffee and coffee liqueur. So I modified the recipe a little to my personal liking! =) Actually, I found a picture of tiramisu cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory website, and they also incorporated the ladyfingers as part of the filling.





I'll post the recipes tomorrow. I'm too tired!

LOOK! My 2nd attempt at making chocolate curls! I used the amateur techniques using a vegetable peeler, and my peeler isn't that long; hence, the short curls. Not too bad, though still not very clean. But I'm pretty satisfied and will keep on practicing! ^^



I hate how that white buttercream looks on my cake! I regretted doing that. It looks like ice cream!
