Tiramisu Cheesecake (Lia's birthday cheesecakes, part deux)

As promised, here is Lia's second cheesecake recipe, and I think I would eat this one once a week if I could!

Tiramisu Cheesecake

For the Crust:

• 1 12 once package lady finger cookies *
• 4 Tbsp salted butter, melted
• 2 Tbsp coffee flavored liqueur

For the Filling:

• 2 Tbsp coffee flavored liqueur
• 24 ounces cream cheese
• 8 ounces marscapone cheese
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 4 Tbsp all purpose flour
• 1 ounce semisweet chocolate

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Place a pan of water in the bottom of the oven.
2. Crush the ladyfingers into fine crumbs, mix in the meld butter and moisten with 2 Tbsp coffee liquor. Press into an 8 or 9 inch springform pan.
3. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, marscapone, and sugar until very smooth. Add liqueur and mix. Add in the eggs and flour, mix slowly, just until smooth. Because the consistency of the mascarpone can vary, if the battery is too thick, slowly add in a little cream if necessary. Do not over mix. Pour batter into crust.
4. Place on middle rack of oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or just until set. Open oven door and turn off heat. Allow cake to cool in oven for 20 minutes. Remove to cooling rack and allow to finish cooling. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, or overnight.
5. Grate semisweet chocolate over the top just before serving.

*Use the hard ladyfinger cookies, not the sponge ones, they will be too soft for this recipe, even if stale.
