Baileys and chocolate add a delightfully rich flavour to a classic cheesecake recipe. This makes a delicious ending to any special meal.

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

Ingredients

175g (6 oz) chocolate biscuit crumbs
50g (2 oz) icing sugar
5 tablespoons cocoa powder
50g (2 oz) butter, melted
3 (200g) tubs cream cheese, softened
250g (9 oz) caster sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons plain flour
3 eggs
125g (4¼ oz) soured cream or marscapone cheese
4 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur, such as Baileys

Preparation method

1. Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. In a large bowl, mix together the biscuit crumbs, icing sugar and 5 tablespoons cocoa. Add melted butter and stir until well mixed. Pat into the bottom of a 23cm loose-bottomed or springform cake tin. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes; set aside. Increase oven temperature to 230 C / Gas mark 8.
2. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, caster sugar, 4 tablespoons cocoa and flour. Beat at medium speed until well blended and smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in the soured cream and Baileys liqueur; mixing on low speed. Pour filling over biscuit base.
3. Bake at 230 C for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 120 C / Gas mark 1/2 and continue baking for 60 minutes.
4. With a knife, loosen cake from sides of tin. Allow to cool slightly, then push up base of the tin to remove cheesecake. Chill before serving. If your cake cracks, a helpful tip is to dampen a palette knife and smooth the top, then sprinkle with some biscuit crumbs.

    I also used 5 oz instead of 9 oz of caster sugar as with the cocoa and baileys this is easily enough, it was still very sweet.

    Review: GracielIz

    I made this for my boyfriend for valentines day, he loved it! We both agreed it could have had a bit more Baileys to increase the flavour, but we ate it with Baileys drizzled over it....delicious! Mine too was a lot darker than the picture!

    Oh and I agree with Island Canuck..definitely add a fair bit more Baileys, I ended up pouring it over the made cheesecake as sauce with creme fraiche as it is notvery evident. Mine too came out a lot darker than the photo
