Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 6 ounces Graham Crackers (170 grams), see note 1
  • A pinch of Salt
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter , melted
  • 2 tablespoons Irish Cream , see note 2

For the cream cheese layer:

Toppings (optional):

  • Chocolate Shavings
  • Caramel Sauce
  • Chocolate Sauce
  • Whipped Cream

Instructions 

  • Crust: Crush the crackers in a food processor (or in a Ziploc bag using rolling pin). Transfer them into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, melted butter and Irish cream. Mix together with a spatula until well combined.
  • Press the mixture into a 7-inch springform pan, lined with baking parchment (ideally bottom + sides). Make sure it is pressed well. If it’s not, the crust won’t hold its shape after slicing.
  • Transfer the pan into the freezer.
  • Meanwhile: In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients apart from heavy cream. Use a hand mixer to achieve a smoother texture. Then whip the cream until stiff peaks form and fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Take the spring-form pan out of the freezer and pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Spread around evenly. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for about 3 hours (or overnight) before serving.
  • Toppings are completely optional – use chocolate shavings, sprinkles, caramel sauce, whipped cream to decorate the cheesecake.

Notes

  1. Either Graham Crackers (US) or Digestive Biscuits (UK) can be used.
  2. I used Baileys Irish cream.
  3. Use a 7-inch (18cm) wide spring form pan.
  4. This recipe yields 6-8 portions.
  5. I always use unsalted butter as I like to control the amount of sodium we eat. You can use salted butter, if you prefer. If you do, there is no need to add a pinch of salt to the crust.
  6. For more tips I recommend reading the whole post.
