Ingredients
- 200 grams Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 680 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 ml Sour cream
- 80 ml Irish cream liqueur
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 whole Large eggs
- 240 ml Whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 30 grams Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing with a rolling pin.
Step 3
Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until combined, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Add the sour cream, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla extract, and mix until well incorporated.
Step 6
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Do not overmix to avoid incorporating too much air into the batter.
Step 7
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake is just slightly jiggly.
Step 9
Turn off the oven and prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Step 10
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 11
Combine the whipping cream and powdered sugar in a chilled bowl, and whip until stiff peaks form.
Step 12
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake, and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
Step 13
Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your Irish Cream Cheesecake Ultimate!
