Toffee Cheesecake Tiramisu image

I accidentally discovered this recipe when making a tiramisu for my friend's rehearsal dinner a couple of years ago. I didn't have enough mascarpone so I decided to substitute cream cheese-the result was a huge success. It tastes like cheesecake and tiramisu mixed together. -Tracy Wheeler, Bridgton, Maine
