This super DELICIOUS no-bake Tiramisu Cheesecake no alcohol which makes it kid friendly. It has a chocolate cookie crust and tastes much like tiramisu without the pricy mascarpone cheese.
Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts. I became acquainted with it when I was visiting my relatives in Italy many years ago and before it became popular in America.
The first time I tried it, I remember it being special.
Tiramisu can be made in many ways. My Authentic Italian Tiramisu recipe is made with raw eggs and no alcohol but, I’ve also made a recipe with alcohol and it too is super delicious!

Tiramisu Recipe No Alcohol
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp melted butter
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla, divided
- 10 lady finger cookies
- 1/2 cup espresso coffee, cooled and unsweetened
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
Cream cheese is much like mascarpone. I don’t even know if I’d be able to tell the difference.

This is what lady fingers look like, incase you aren’t familiar.
How to Make Chocolate Cookie Crust
Do not remove the cream from the Oreos. Put twelve Oreo cookies into a food processor and process until the cookies become small crumbs. Then stir in the melted butter and press down into an 8″x 8″x 3″ dish and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. If you prefer, you can bake it for 10 minutes and let it cool before filling.
If you don’t have Oreos but have chocolate cookie crumbs, stir together 1 1/2 cups of chocolate cookie crumbs and 6 tablespoons of melted butter together. Press cookie crumbs into an 8″x 8″x 3″ dish and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Or as I mentioned above, you can bake it for 10 minutes and let it cool before filling.
Then, you’ll make the cheesecake filling by mixing softened cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla for about two minutes to get it nice and fluffy.
Then, you’ll add half of the mixture to the cookie crust.
Next, add vanilla to the cooled espresso coffee. Then, add the lady fingers and soak them with the espresso.
Next, add the remaining cheesecake filling and sift cocoa powder on top.
Then, cover and refrigerate for seven hours to set. This recipe is very easy-to-make!
Can tiramisu cheesecake be frozen?
Yes. Place it in a plastic container in the freezer for up to one month for maximum freshness.
Can I use Philadelphia cheese instead of mascarpone for tiramisu?
Yes. Cream cheese can be used to substitute mascarpone cheese as it can be hard to find. Adding some heavy cream to the cream cheese makes it a great substitute.
It’s a great summer dessert when you don’t want to turn on your oven. This Tiramisu Cheesecake is absolutely delightful. It’s irresistible!
