Ingredients

For the Biscuit Base

200 g digestive biscuits finely crushed
100 g unsalted butter melted
1 tbsp cocoa powder optional

For the Cheesecake Filling

500 g full-fat cream cheese softened
250 g mascarpone
125 ml double cream
200 ml Baileys Irish Cream
100 g icing sugar sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract

For Decoration

Grated dark chocolate
Chocolate curls
Shaved chocolate
Cocoa powder for dusting
Melted chocolate optional drizzle

Equipment

20cm Springform Cake Tin
Large mixing bowls
Electric Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
Rubber Spatula
Rolling pin or food processor
Measuring Spoons
Baking Paper

Method

Line a 20cm springform tin with baking paper.
Mix the crushed digestive biscuits, cocoa powder, and melted butter until evenly combined.
Press firmly into the base of the tin and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Beat the softened cream cheese and mascarpone until completely smooth.
Mix in the sifted icing sugar, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract.
Whisk the double cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cheesecake mixture.
Spoon the filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Decorate with grated dark chocolate, chocolate curls, shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, or melted chocolate before serving.

Notes

Chill overnight for the firmest texture and clean slices.
Always use full-fat cream cheese and mascarpone for the creamiest filling.
Do not overwhip the double cream.
A springform tin makes removing the cheesecake much easier.
Dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe clean between slices for neat presentation.
