Baileys White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
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!
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.
