Instructions

Combine crushed cookies and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat mascarpone and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.
In a shallow dish, combine espresso and coffee liqueur (if using). Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture—do not soak.
Layer dipped cookies over the chilled crust.
Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the cookie layer.
Repeat with another layer of dipped cookies and the remaining filling. Smooth the top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.
Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For a firmer crust, bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes and cool before filling.Use decaf coffee for a caffeine-free version.Substitute whipped topping for heavy cream if preferred, though homemade yields better texture.Freeze individual slices for up to 1 month; thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.Decorate with chocolate curls or espresso beans for extra flair.
