How to Make Irish Cream Cheesecake With Mixed Berries
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Make the filling:** In a large bowl, beat 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- Beat in 1 cup sour cream and ½ cup Irish cream liqueur until smooth.
- With the mixer on low speed, add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Make the topping:** In a small bowl, combine ½ cup sour cream and ¼ cup granulated sugar until smooth.
- Once the cheesecake is completely cool, gently spread the sour cream topping evenly over the surface.
- **Prepare the berries:** In a medium bowl, gently toss 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) with 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, to taste.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake, covered, for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully chill and set.
- Before serving, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Top with the prepared berries and serve immediately.
