Baileys Cheesecake - The BEST No Bake Recipe
This No Bake Baileys Cheesecake is a must make. Totally decadent and delicious, with Irish cream flavours, whipped up in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
For the Base:
- 300 g Digestive biscuits Crushed
- 150 g Butter Melted (See Note 1.)
- 3 tbsp Cocoa powder
For the Cheesecake mixture:
- 100 g Icing sugar
- 680 g Cream cheese See Note 2.
- 300 ml Double cream
- 90 ml Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur (About 5 tablespoons)
For the topping
- 150 ml Milk Chocolate
- Chocolates, sprinkles or Baileys truffles to decorate
Instructions
-
Combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and cocoa and press into a tin. Chill in the fridge.
-
Beat the cream cheese with the icing sugar until it's just combined, don't overmix.
-
Add in the double cream and Baileys and whisk until very thick.
-
Remove the base from the fridge and add the cheesecake mixture, smoothing the top.
-
Pop into the freezer for at least 2 hours (or overnight if it makes if you don't need it until the next day).
-
When you are almost ready to serve the cheesecake, melt the chocolate very gently in a bowl, sitting over a pan of simmering water. (Don't let the bowl touch the water!)
-
When the chocolate is melted, allow to cool for about 10 minutes. It should be body temperature (so you can't feel it when you touch it with your finger).
-
Remove the cheesecake from the freezer and take out of the tin (see tips above). Gently drizzle over the chocolate, working quickly. Add decorations.
-
Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Note 1 - Butter
I use unsalted butter for this and just melt it quickly in a mug in the microwave.
Note 2 - Cream Cheese
I like to use Philadelphia brand cream cheese for this recipe, I drain off any liquid before using. You can use other brands, but I find they are SLIGHTLY more difficult to combine. Be sure to always use Full Fat Cream Cheese.
