- 75 g butter
- 250 ml strong black coffee

Instructions
- Brew strong black coffee and mix in Amaretto if desired. Let it cool. In a food processor, blend graham cookies with cocoa powder until fine. Melt the butter and mix it with the cookie crumbs. Press this mixture into a lined 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan and refrigerate.
- Using a hand mixer, cream the cream cheese on low speed for 1 minute. Add mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla paste. Mix on medium-high for about 1 minute. Scrape the sides and mix for another 30 seconds. Slowly add heavy cream and whisk until stiff peaks form. Spread half of this cheesecake filling over the crust.
- Quickly dip ladyfingers in the cooled coffee and arrange in a single layer over the cheesecake filling. Spread the remaining filling on top, smooth it out, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla paste until stiff peaks form. Spread this whipped cream on top of the cheesecake and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
