This tiramisu recipe is a fun play on a classic tiramisu trifle. It’s no bake, easy to make, and is served in individual jars – great for Shavuos! I’m using cream cheese for that rich cheesecake flavor we all love.

INGREDIENTS

  • 8-oz. block of cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 8 oz. heavy cream
  • 1/3-1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee powder (dissolved in ¾ cup hot water and 2 tablespoons sugar)
  • 20-25 vanilla cookies
  • Cocoa powder, for topping

 

  1. Using an electric hand mixer, whip the sugar, vanilla extract, and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the whipped cream until stiff peaks form, then slowly fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Dip cookies into the coffee mixture and place them at the bottom of the jars.
  4. Layer the cream and cookies until the jars are full. Then top with cocoa powder.
  5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
