Serves
Serves 8-10
Total Time
1 Hour 30 Minutes
Ingredients
200g of stem ginger cookies, crushed
45g of butter, melted
600g of soft cheese
170ml of double cream
150g of golden caster sugar
2 tbsp of cornflour
5 tbsp of Baileys Original Irish Cream
3 medium eggs
100g of white chocolate, roughly chopped
Method
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Mix together the crushed cookies and butter, stirring until evenly mixed. Tip the crumb mixture into a deep, 23cm, non-stick cake tin, pressing the crumbs down firmly with the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge for five minutes.

Step 2

Place the soft cheese, cream, sugar and cornflour in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until smooth. Add the Baileys and eggs and whisk briefly until blended. Pour into the prepared tin and place on a baking sheet. Scatter over the white chocolate and cook for 45 minutes until dark golden – it might still be a little wobbly in the centre but will set as it cools.

Step 3

Turn off the oven, open the door and leave the cheesecake to cool completely. Chill, preferably overnight, until ready to serve.
