    • 6-8 ladyfingers
    • cocoa powder for dusting garnish

    Icing

    • 8 oz mascarpone cheese room temperature
    • 4 oz. cream cheese room temperature
    • 8 oz butter softened
    • 1 tbsp espresso powder
    • 1 tbsp coffee liqueur
    • 3 c powdered sugar

    Instructions

    Crust

    • Spray an 8-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper in a circle the size of the bottom of your pan and fit paper into the bottom of the pan.
    • Combine all dry ingredients.
    • Add melted butter and mix until it is the consistency of damp sand.
    • Scoop mixture into pan and press into bottom and up the sides about an inch.
    • Place crust into freezer while preparing filling.

    Cheesecake Filling

    • In mixer bowl, mix cream cheese, mascarpone and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add eggs, powdered sugar, 2 tbsp. coffee liqueur, espresso powder and mix until smooth and combined.
    • Pour half of mixture into cheesecake crust.
    • Open ladyfingers in half and use halves. Layer ladyfingers on top of filling. You will use 8-12 ladyfinger halves. Liberally brush tops of ladyfingers with the reserved 2 tbsp. coffee liqueur.
    • Pour remainder of filling on top of ladyfingers.
    • Cover pan with foil sealing edges. Poke small hole in top of foil to allow steam to escape.
    • Place cheesecake pan on trivet that comes with your Instant Pot. Add 1 c. of water to Instant Pot and lower pan into the Instant Pot.
    • Replace lid of Instant Pot and seal according to your Instant Pot Instructions.
    • Cook on high pressure for 55 min. Allow pressure to release for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure. The cheesecake should jiggle only in the center when done. If the whole cake jiggles, cook for another 5 min.
    • Cool cheesecake on wire rack.

    Icing

    • In large bowl, mix cream cheese, mascarpone, and butter until light and fluffy.
    • Add coffee liqueur and espresso powder and mix until thoroughly combined.
    • Slowly add powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
    • Spread icing across top of cheesecake about ¼-½ inch thick. Be sure to save some for the piping border if you choose to add it.
    • Sprinkle cocoa powder on top.
    • You can stop at this point, but if you want the cheesecake a bit fancier, you can add a piped border around the edge of cake. I used a 1M Wilton piping tip in a simple shell border.
    • Chocolate covered coffee bean can be added as a garnish.
    • Chill for several hours before serving.
