How to Make Irish Cream Cheesecake Ultimate
- Combine 1 ½ cups chocolate wafer crumbs, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup powdered sugar, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat 3 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
- Gradually beat in 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and ¼ cup Jameson 18 Year Old Irish Whiskey (or your favorite Irish cream liqueur).
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
- Drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate over the surface of the cake before serving.
