Baileys Irish Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 75ml Baileys Original Irish Cream
- A 20cm sponge
- 500g mascarpone
- 340g cream cheese
- 60g caster sugar
- 175ml double cream
- Caramel sauce
- Caramel sauce, popcorn and salted pretzels to garnish
- Eggs
- Milk
- Wheat
Directions
Trim the top off the sponge cake to create a flat surface (a store-bought one is perfect to keep things simple). Place the cake in a clean 20cm cake tin.
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, sugar, and Baileys Irish Cream until smooth and creamy. Spread the filling evenly over the sponge cake layer in the tin. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. (Feel free to indulge in a taste test of the caramel popcorn topping while you wait!)
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until stiff peaks form. Dollop the whipped cream on top of the chilled cheesecake and spread it out into a smooth layer.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake. Get creative! Decorate your masterpiece with caramel popcorn and salted pretzels for a touch of fun and salty-sweet contrast.
