Irish Cream Liqueur Cheesecake
My Mum's famous "Christmas Baileys Cheesecake". I finally got the recipe to share. Now Mum's is probably a bit more boozy than mine... I use a little restraint, but well, you do you!
Ingredients
Ingredients:
Biscuit Base:
- 400 g chocolate digestive biscuits
- 175 g butter
Cheesecake Filling:
- 500 g full-fat cream cheese
- 350 mls cream
- 150 g icing sugar
- 200 mls Irish cream liqueur
- 2 leaf gelatine
- 20 mls water
- 200 g Nutella
Method
Method:
- Melt the butter. Crush the biscuits. Combine the biscuits and butter together.
- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Move to a separate bowl.
- Soak the gelatine in a little cold water for 5/10 minutes
- In a separate bowl whip the cream cheese and the icing sugar until it is silky. Slowly pour the Irish cream liqueur and combine well.
- Squeeze the water out of the leaf of gelatine and warm it with a little drizzle of hot water. Stir this into the creamy mixture.
- Warm the Nutella in the microwave until it reaches a runny drizzling consistency.
- Using a spatula, pour all the creamy cheesecake filling over the biscuit base.
- Drizzle on the Nutella and using the back of a knife or a skewer drag the chocolate up and down in opposite linear directions to create a design.
- Cover the cling film and allow to chill overnight.
- Garnish with some chocolate truffles, florentines, mini meringues, chocolate flakes, serve at room temperature and enjoy.
