1 ¼ cups white sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 eggs
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup Irish cream liqueur

Pat into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes; set aside. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, white sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa and flour. Beat at medium speed until well blended and smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in the sour cream and Irish cream liqueur; mixing on low speed. Pour filling over baked crust.

CHOCOLATE IRISH CREAM CHEESECAKE



Chocolate Irish Cream Cheesecake image

I made this Cheesecake, when my husband and I were dating. I wanted to make an impression on his Irish taste buds with Irish Cream Cheesecake. I also made a Raspberry Puree to go with it. The chocolate and raspberry sauce went very well together. I served it with a Sweetheart Salad, cut the cheese slice into Valentine hearts,...

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 c finely crushed vanilla or chocolate wafers
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c butter, melted
3 pkg (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened room temperature
1 c sour cream
8 oz semi sweet chocolate, melted & cooled
1 c sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 c irish cream liqueur
2 Tbsp milk( i like to use evaporated milk)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 c semi sweet chocolate pieces, melted, optional
RASPBERRY SAUCE (PUREE)
2 pkg (12 oz) frozen unsweetened raspberries
1/2 c granulated sugar, or to taste
1 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice (optional

Steps:

  • 1. For the raspberry sauce, thaw the raspberries, either in microwave, or at room temperature. Place berries in a large mesh strainer suspended over a large bowl, and push berries through the sieve with the back of a large spoon, forcing all the pulp and juice through, leaving only the seeds. Discard seeds. Add sugar and lemon juice to puree, stir to mix. Can add a little Raspberry liqueur if desired. This recipe is from the Joy of Baking, and is simple and easy. Makes about 1 3/4 cups of puree.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the crushed wafers with butter and cinnamon,in a small bowl. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9 inch springform pan. Set aside.
  • 3. In a large bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, the 8 ounces melted chocolate and sugar with an electric mixer, on medium high speed till smooth. Add eggs all at once. Beat on low just until combined. Stir in liqueur, milk and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Place in a large shallow baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes or until center is nearly set when shaken. Cool in springform pan on wire rack for 15 minutes. Loosen cheesecake from sides of pan.DO NOT REMOVE SIDES. Cool 30 minutes more. Then remove sides of pan. Cool for 1 hour. Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours. If desired drizzle cheesecake with 1/3 cup melted chocolate & chopped nuts, or serve with Raspberry Sauce, as a nice accompaniment.
  • 4. NOTE: Instead of making the Raspberry Purree this time, I opted to use the leftover Irish Mint White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting left from another dessert, and then added some shaved chocolate. My husband loved it. The crust is made with Chocolate sandwich oreo's.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and dry.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.

Conclusion:

This Irish Cream Chocolate Cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and hint of Irish cream, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this Irish Cream Chocolate Cheesecake a try. You won't be disappointed!
