My Final Recipe
I have been making a lot of really amazing and yummy recipes lately but today I wanted to try to mix it up a little bit and make something a little more complex. Today we are going to make Tiramisu
cheesecake. I had never tried it before so I was in for a surprise and my mom reassured me it is very good.

DIRECTIONS
FOR THE LADY FINGER COOKIE LAYER
1. preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Blend all of the Lady Finger Cookie ingredients together
3. Pour the mixture into a piping bag and make three inch logs and 1 inch thick with the dough
4. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes
5. Take them out and let them cool completely
FOR THE PALEO CHEESECAKE LAYER
1. Soak the cahews for 4 hours in water. Measure and dry three cups worth
2. Blend the cashews in a food processor for about 1-2 min until creamy
3. Add the coconut cream, maple syrup, almond extract, and lemon juice and blend until combined
4. Blend in the ghee and coconut sugar
ASSEMBLING THE CAKE
1. Combine the coffee syrup ingredients
2. Dip the Lady finger cookies into the syrup for 5 seconds ( I learned to not dip them in too long so they don't get too soggy)
3. Place the dipped cookies at the bottom of the pan
4. Layer half of the paleo cheesecake on top of them
5. Then repeat the first steps so that you have another layer and the layers should look like this
Before you serve sprinkle with a little bit of coco powder and espresso powder.
This recipe was super yummy and a great deal of work so I don't know if I will be making it that often. Also some of the ingredients were a little hard to find, but this is something that I will defiantly be making again. It would be perfect for a Birthday or Anniversary party. I am so glad I listened to my mom/ mentor and made this recipe
not only did it taste amazing but it made me a better cook.
