• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream

• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur.
3. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, turning to coat both sides. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with half of the soaked ladyfingers.

5. Mix in the sour cream, flour, and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Gently fold the mascarpone into the cream cheese mixture.
7. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the ladyfingers in the pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Arrange the remaining soaked ladyfingers on top of the cream cheese mixture. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the ladyfingers and smooth the top.
9. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
10. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
11. Before serving, sift cocoa powder over the top of the cheesecake. Slice and serve chilled.
