Crush the chocolate digestive biscuits in a bag using a rolling pin. Transfer to a bowl and combine with melted butter and 3 tsp of strong espresso. Spoon the mixture into 5 dessert jars or glass bowls, pressing down to create a flat base. Place in the freezer for few minutes to set.
Make the chocolate layer:
Place a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (bain-marie), ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Add the double cream, milk chocolate, and coffee-flavored liqueur. Stir gently with a spatula until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Pour this chocolate layer into the jars over the biscuit base. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
Tip: When using a bain-marie, make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the simmering water. The heat from the steam will gently melt the chocolate.
Prepare the cheesecake layer:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla bean paste, icing sugar, and double cream. Whisk until stiff peaks form. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the set chocolate layer. Dust with cocoa powder for garnish. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the cheesecake layer to firm up.
Serving and storage:
Your Tiramisu Cheesecake can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
