"I wasn't a big fan of tiramisu until I tried this recipe with its distinctive cheesecake- and coffee-flavored layers. It's one of my favorite desserts to make during the fall." —Christie Nelson Taylorville, Illinois

Ingredients

1 package (12 ounces) vanilla wafers
5 teaspoons instant coffee granules, divided
3 tablespoons hot water, divided
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup whipped topping
1 tablespoon baking cocoa

Directions

Layer half of wafers in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons coffee granules in 2 tablespoons hot water. Brush wafers with half of coffee; set remaining mixture aside.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in sour cream. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Divide batter in half. Dissolve remaining coffee granules in remaining hot water; stir into one portion of batter. Spread over wafers. Layer with remaining wafers; brush with reserved coffee. Top with remaining batter.
