A creamy no bake Tiramisu Cheesecake, Classic Tiramisu meets cheesecake, works perfectly and tastes even better! The perfect dessert idea.

No Bake Cheesecake is one of the easiest and delicious desserts to make, from this No Bake Berry Cheesecake, to Cheesecake Tarts and I can’t forget my daughter’s favourite, Skor No Bake Cheesecake with a Caramel Drizzle.

In our house there are two favourite desserts. Cheesecake and Tiramisu. So combining them together was the perfect solution.

I Actually made this as our Christmas dessert, because to tell the truth I made it last minute. My daughter came in the kitchen on Christmas Eve asking what are you making for Dessert?

Oops and here it is! Tiramisu Cheesecake.

How to Make the Best No Bake Cheesecake

Making the best No Bake Cheesecake is easy. Just make sure your cream cheese and mascarpone are at room temperature, so that they whip up perfectly light and fluffy!

Your whipping or whole cream should be cold straight from the fridge.

Leaf or Powdered Gelatine

It’s up to you if you want to use leaf or powdered gelatine, four gelatine leaves are equal to 3 teaspoons of powdered gelatine (8 grams).

Leaf gelatine if very popular and used by most people here in Italy, although I have used powdered also and I actually use it in this Cheesecake Recipe.

They say leaf gelatine gives you a smoother and clearer texture.

How to dissolve Gelatine

To dissolve gelatine powder, in a small pot add a small amount of the liquid that you are using in the recipe, usually about 1/4 cup is all you need.

Sprinkle the powder on top, mix together with a fork or small whisk, then let it sit for about 5 minutes. Heat the mixture just to dissolve the gelatine (never let it come to a boil).

Add a little of the whipped ingredients to the gelatine mixture to cool it down before adding to your filling.

To dissolve the leaf gelatine, just soften the leaves in cold water for about 5-10 minutes, then squeeze the excess water.

Add the leaves to the liquid you want to set. If your liquid is cold, stir it gently in a saucepan over very low heat until the gelatine dissolves, of course never let the liquid boil.

No Bake Cheesecake

No Bake Cheesecakes are perfect anytime, not only during the summertime when you have no desire to turn on the oven.

I make my Tiramisu Cheesecake with strong espresso coffee, but regular or even decaffeinated coffee will work too.

          5 stars
          Just made this and absolutely loved it. It came out beautifully and tasted amazing. I added a tiny bit of rum to the coffee for the lady-finger biscuits because I like a bit of alcohol in my tiramisu. I gave it five stars because it’s excellent, but I would say that it didn’t taste quite as much like cheesecake as I was hoping. I think the mascarpone and cream softened the cream cheese flavour. Any chance it could be made with /just/ cream cheese rather than the mascarpone and cream? I know that would perhaps make it more cheesecake-y than tiramisu-y but that was what I was really going for when I made this…

            Hi Clare, thanks glad you liked it. If you remove the mascarpone then yes it’s just a regular cheesecake, you could check out this one on making the filling. https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/no-bake-cheesecake/. Happy New Year.
