Ingredients

For the Coffee-Soaked Ladyfingers

• 12–16 ladyfinger cookies
• ¾ cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

For the Oh! Crema Tiramisu Cheesecake Filling

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup Oh! Crema Tiramisu Spread
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup heavy whipping cream

For the Topping

• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Crushed ladyfingers

How to Make No-Bake Tiramisu Cheesecake Cups

1. Brew and Cool the Coffee

Brew strong coffee or espresso and allow it to cool completely.

Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow bowl. If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Using cooled coffee is important because warm coffee can make the ladyfingers soften too quickly.

2. Dip the Ladyfingers

Break or cut the ladyfingers into pieces that fit neatly inside your dessert glasses.

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, coating both sides.

Arrange the coffee-soaked ladyfingers along the bottom of each dessert cup.

Tip: Ladyfingers absorb liquid quickly, so a brief dip is enough. Avoid soaking them until they become mushy.

3. Make the Oh! Crema Tiramisu Cheesecake Filling

Add the softened cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth.

Add the Oh! Crema Tiramisu Spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

Beat until the mixture is creamy and completely combined.

Blending Oh! Crema directly into the cheesecake filling gives each spoonful a rich tiramisu-inspired flavor without requiring a complicated recipe.

4. Whip the Cream

In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until medium-to-stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and Oh! Crema mixture.

Fold carefully rather than vigorously stirring to keep the cheesecake filling light and fluffy.

5. Assemble the Tiramisu Cheesecake Cups

Spoon or pipe the tiramisu cheesecake filling over the coffee-soaked ladyfinger base.

For taller dessert glasses, you can create another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers followed by more cheesecake filling.

Smooth the top of each cup.

6. Chill the Cheesecake Cups

Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

For the best texture and flavor, refrigerate for approximately 4 hours or overnight.

Chilling allows the cheesecake filling to firm up while the coffee-soaked ladyfingers become soft and cake-like.

7. Finish with Cocoa and Crushed Ladyfingers

Just before serving, dust the top of each cheesecake cup generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Finish with a sprinkle of crushed ladyfingers for a little extra texture.

Serve chilled and enjoy.

Why You'll Love These Tiramisu Cheesecake Cups

What Makes Oh! Crema Tiramisu Spread Perfect for This Recipe?

The secret to the filling is Oh! Crema Tiramisu Spread.

Instead of using the spread only as a topping, it's blended directly into the cream cheese filling so its flavor runs throughout the entire dessert.

Combined with whipped cream, cream cheese, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and cocoa, it creates a smooth and indulgent filling that makes this dessert easy to prepare while still feeling special.

Tips for the Best No-Bake Tiramisu Cheesecake

Use strong coffee or espresso. A bold coffee flavor creates a better contrast with the creamy cheesecake filling.

Let the coffee cool completely. This helps prevent the ladyfingers from becoming overly soft.

Don't oversoak the ladyfingers. Dip them quickly on both sides rather than letting them sit in the coffee.

Use softened cream cheese. Room-temperature cream cheese blends more smoothly with the Oh! Crema Tiramisu Spread.

Fold the whipped cream gently. This keeps the filling airy and gives the cheesecake cups a lighter texture.

Chill before serving. Give the dessert at least two hours to set, although four hours or overnight is even better.

Add cocoa at the end. Dusting the cups shortly before serving creates a cleaner, classic tiramisu presentation.

Can You Make Tiramisu Cheesecake Cups Ahead of Time?

Yes. These tiramisu cheesecake cups are an excellent make-ahead dessert.

You can assemble them the night before, cover each cup, and keep them refrigerated until you're ready to serve.

For the best presentation, wait until shortly before serving to add the cocoa powder and crushed ladyfingers.

What Coffee Is Best for Tiramisu Cheesecake Cups?

Espresso works particularly well because of its concentrated flavor, but you don't need an espresso machine.

Strongly brewed dark-roast coffee works just as well.

Whichever you choose, allow the coffee to cool completely before dipping the ladyfingers.

Can I Make Tiramisu Cheesecake Without Baking?

Absolutely.

This recipe uses whipped cream and cream cheese to create a creamy cheesecake filling that sets in the refrigerator, so no baking is required.

That makes these individual tiramisu cups especially convenient for parties, summer desserts, and make-ahead entertaining.

• Croissant filling
• Crepe filling
