My hairdresser Wendy gave me this recipe at Christmas time. It is so quick and easy. Quick and easy is always good at Christmas. It was such a hit I made it today for the family who have a habit of dropping by for dinner. Very very rich unhealthy and huge in calories. If you want healthy don't eat dessert. Have an apple. It takes but a few minutes to throw together and just needs a little chill in the fridge.Baileys Cheese Cake
500g/1lb 4 oz Philadelphia Cheese
100g/40z icing sugar
250mls/9fl oz/1 cup double/heavy cream
Baileys Irish Cream to taste
Base
15 digestive biscuits
50g/2 oz melted butter
Method
Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumb and mix with the melted butter. I did this in the food processor.
Press into the bottom of a 20cm/8" springform cake tin
Mix all the other ingredients together in a large bowl.
Beat until smooth, thick and well combined
Pile on top of the biscuit base
Chill in the fridge until needed
That's it
I decorated it with bits of chocolate. I just spread strips of melted white,milk and dark chocolate on the work top then when it was hard scraped it up with a palette knife to make splinters. I had too much so I popped the extra in a jar for another day.

Brenda this cheesecake is amazing , it looks so professional ...i love it!
I have two mini bottles of Baileys in my cupboard for this very purpose - you've reminded me that I must put them to use. I love the way it's all swirly - I always do mine in a springform tin but this is much prettier.
Brenda this looks fabulous. I can't believe how simple it is to make.
I am peeping through the fence at this one and eating my apple! :(
I would love to be able to eat it.
I love a Bailey's cheesecake, your presentation is really beautiful here :)Well done.
@ Gloria and Rosa - If you like Baileys you will like this. I put a fairly generous slug in the cake.
@ Mary - Thank you mary :)
@ Clabby - The swirls were just made with a skewer after I took it out of the tin.
@ George - It is so simple. I think it would work quite well with other flavours too.
@ Grannymar - Oh bless you with your apple. Strangely I am not a huge fan of sweet things. Maybe we could swap places :)
@ Kelly - Thank you :)
Wow oh wow, that looks delish!

@ Maria - Thank you :)
Brenda, I like the idea that you add "Bailey`s to taste" This looks so scrummy.

@ Karen - Throw the whole bottle in LOL
Apples be damned, this looks glorious! Definitely saving this recipe, it looks like it should be outlawed... I approve!
@ Indigo - I am glad you approve ;)
Oh WOW Granny, what a gorgeous cheesecake! I am drooling over that picture lol. I love Bailey's and I am definitely going to try this recipe very soon :)
This looks really pretty...and can't believe how simple it is. Reminds me a bit of the cheesecake from Nigella Express. Your hairdresser is a keeper :)
ROFL! I see in my mind a plate with a slice of this cheesecake in one hand, and a plate with an apple on t'other, am I weighing this decision carefully? NOPE - I've already half-finished the cheesecake!
Brenda it looks yum, Bailey's cheesecake is the dessert I always make for my friends when I'm visting them. I love it! You say you put it in a tin, how did you get the swirl look on it on the sides, because it looks fab!
Triona I just swirled it a bit with a skewer when I took it out of the tin :)
wow - what a stunning looking cheesecake! Your swirly decoration is fab! Bet it didn't taste bad either!!!
@ Cakedcrusader - Thanks for dropping in. Yes it does taste good. I had a wee look round your blog and it looks lovely :)
