~BAILEY'S IRISH CREAM WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE ~
Phyllis' Favorite.... very enjoyable to anyone who's tasted it. I make it for special people for special occasions, especially at Christmastime. This is easier to make than it appears, but it takes a little effort and sooo worth it. Even the non-cheesecake lovers love it! Great Recipe for March 5th which is National White...

Steps:
- 1. For crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter 9 inch diameter spring form pan with 2 ¾ inch high sides. Finely grind graham crackers, pecans and sugar in processor. Add butter and blend, using on/off turns. Press crumbs onto bottom and 2 inches up sides of prepared pan. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
- 2. For filling: Use electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Whisk eggs, Baileys and vanilla in medium bowl until just blended. Beat egg mixture into cream cheese mixture. Finely chop white chocolate in processor using on/off turns. Add to cream cheese mixture. Transfer filling to crust-lined pan. Bake until edges of filling are puffed and dry looking and center is just set; about 50 minutes. Cool on rack.
- 3. For topping: Mix sour cream and powdered sugar in small bowl. (I also add about 1 ½ oz finely chopped white chocolate to this topping mixture). Spread topping onto cooled cake. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 6 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead).
- 4. Decorate Top: Sprinkle grated chocolate (I use grated white chocolate) over cooled cheesecake. Place whole pecans around edge - or pecans may be finely ground and spread around edges. Serve & Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor. A good quality white chocolate will have a creamy, smooth texture and a rich, sweet flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start making the cheesecake. This will help the cheesecake to be smooth and creamy.
- Do not overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the cheesecake to set and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
This Irish Cream White Chocolate Cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy, smooth cheesecake filling is complemented perfectly by the rich, sweet white chocolate ganache. This cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
