There is no limit on how you can create your own perfect cheesecake. You can use this recipe, swop products add any alcohol, fruit or even chocolate bars. I love making gin and strawberry or vodka and raspberry cheesecake.
Cheesecake is a quite popular dessert that is preferred by many people all over the world!
In history, the first “cheesecake” was created on the Greek island of Samos, also known to use cheesecake as a wedding cake. The Romans spread cheesecake from Greece to across Europe. American cheesecake was developed in 1872.
If you think about how long we had cheesecake in our life, you can understand why it is so popular!
Perfect for serving at any time of the day and one of the best option for dinner parties.
You can have baked cheesecake like this recipe or mix cheesecake doesn’t need any eggs, which I will share the recipe very soon

1 cup: 200 ml

- 4 medium eggs
- 2 tbsp. sour cream or Greek yoghurt
- 100ml double cream
- 1/2 cup of Baileys Irish cream

- 250g/8¾oz crushed biscuits (oatmeal or digestive).
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 100g unsalted butter
- 100g dark chocolate
- Ingredients for a 9-inch cheesecake
Method
Melt the butter in a saucepan. In a bowl mix the butter, the crushed biscuits, cocoa powder and brown sugar
Place the mixture in a cake tin. Press down using the back of a spoon into the bottom of the tin
Bake the biscuits at 175C for 7-8 minutes
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, flour and Baileys for 2 minutes then start to add the eggs one by one and mix. Cut the Oreo biscuits into small pieces and add them into the mixture.
When it is ready, pour over onto the biscuit base
Put a tray of water on the bottom of the oven to create steam and put the cheesecake on the middle shelf. Cook for 45 minutes till the cake should wobble a little when moved but will look puffy and set.
Turn the oven off, open the door a tiny bit and leave the cake to cool completely. This way will help to minimise cracking.
Chill for at least 2 hours. Decorate with melted chocolate before serving
Enjoy your cheesecake and please let me know if you try it
Love and happiness
