Ingredients
Chocolate cookies or graham crackers (for crust)

Cream cheese (softened)
Mascarpone cheese
Granulated sugar
Heavy cream
Vanilla extract
Instant espresso powder or strong brewed coffee
Kahlua liqueur (optional)
Ladyfingers
Unflavored gelatin (optional, for stability)
Whipped cream (for topping)
Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the crust by crushing chocolate cookies or graham crackers and mixing with melted butter.
2. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for a few minutes if desired, then let it cool.
3. Brew strong coffee or espresso and mix it with Kahlua liqueur if using.
4. Dip ladyfingers briefly into the coffee mixture and set them aside.
5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
6. Whip heavy cream separately until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cheese mixture.
7. If using gelatin, dissolve it in hot water and mix it into the filling to help set.
8. Spread a layer of the cheesecake filling over the crust.
9. Arrange a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers over the filling.
10. Repeat layering with more cheesecake filling and another layer of soaked ladyfingers if desired.
11. Finish by spreading the remaining cheesecake filling on top.
12. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set.
13. Before serving, top with whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder.
14. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or additional ladyfingers for decoration.
15. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice to serve.
Notes
Let the cheesecake chill overnight to achieve the perfect creamy texture and firm consistency.
Soak the ladyfingers briefly in coffee or Kahlua to prevent them from becoming too soggy while still absorbing the rich flavor.
Use a springform pan for easy removal and a professional-looking presentation.
