- Serves 8
I wanted to make an outstanding New Year's dessert for my family . Since I love cheesecake as well as tiramisu I combined ingredients for a rich creamy cheesecake dessert ( unbaked ) which contains no eggs ( Typically Tiramisu has eggs ). Read more I saw many baked Tiramisu cheesecake recipes on the Net. But I wanted my recipe to be as close to Tiramisu as possible for taste & texture and without being baked plus looking like cheesecake when sliced . Knock your socks off dessert ! See less
