Ingredients

Baileys White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:

Instructions

Oreo base

  • Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor or blender and whizz until you get fine crumbs.
  • In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the butter in a microwave. Stir the crushed cookies into the melted butter until combined.
  • Press the cookie mix into a lined tin (see tips), using the back of a spoon or measuring cup to help firmly press down. Put this in the freezer while making the cheesecake filling.

Baileys white chocolate cheesecake filling

  • In a microwave (20 secs at a time) or over a double-boiler, gently melt the white chocolate, stirring until smooth. Set this to one side to allow it to cool to room temperature.
  • Whip the cream for several minutes, using an electric mixer or stand mixer, until it forms soft peaks.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese and Bailey’s until smooth and fluffy, then beat in the cooled melted white chocolate until combined.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mix until smooth, being careful not to overmix.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the chilled base, smoothing gently, then cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4hrs or overnight. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) until set.
  • If using, grate a bar of white chocolate into a bowl and top your set cheesecake with the white chocolate shavings, then remove from the tin, cut into slices and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Keep your cheesecake in an airtight container (or use cling film) in the fridge. It should keep for up to 4 days.
Freezing: You can cut your cheesecake into pieces and freeze it for up to 3 months. Wrap in cling film and foil first!
Pan size: You can swap the 8-inch tin for a 9-inch tin and keep the recipe the same. You'll have thinner layers but it will still taste delicious!
Top tips:
  • Melt your white chocolate slowly in 20sec bursts and use chocolate from the baking aisle.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and let it come to room temperature before use.
  • Use cold heavy cream so it whips easier.
Substitutions:
  • You can swap the Oreos for graham crackers or digestive biscuits for your cheesecake base. Add an extra 1tbsp butter to keep it moist.
