Base Ingredients:
- 250 g chocolate cookies
- 125 g unsalted butter
Filling Ingredients:
- 125 ml boiling water
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 180 g caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 250 g cream cheese
- 300 ml whipping cream
- 180 ml Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 flaked chocolate bar
Instructions
- Begin with the base: Finely crush the chocolate cookies. Melt the butter and combine with the crushed cookies. Mix well and press the mixture firmly into a springform pan to create a tight base. Chill in the refrigerator to set.
- For the filling: Sprinkle gelatin over boiling water, stir until completely dissolved, then set aside to cool. Blend the sugar and lemon juice together until well combined. Add room-temperature cream cheese to the sugar mixture and continue blending. Incorporate the cooled gelatin mixture, whipping cream, and Baileys, blending until smooth.
- Take half of the flaked chocolate bar and crumble it into the mixture, folding gently. Pour this over the chilled base. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate flakes on top.
- Place the cheesecake back in the refrigerator to firm up before serving.
