Place the cookies into a food processor or blender and whizz up until you get small crumbs. Tip these into a mixing bowl.
Melt the butter in a microwave and pour this over the crushed cookies. Mix these together until combined.
Press the cookie mix into a greased and lined tin, using the back of a spoon to help firmly press down. Put this in the freezer while making the filling.

Whip the cream for several minutes, using an electric mixer or stand mixer, until it forms soft peaks.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, then add the icing sugar and Baileys and continue to beat together until just combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Baileys mix until smooth.
Spread the filling evenly over the biscuit base, then cover the tin with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2hrs or overnight. After this has set and is firm to touch, make the chocolate ganache.

Break up the chocolate into a heatproof bowl.
Heat the cream and Baileys in the microwave until almost boiling (30secs at a time) and pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate, allowing this to sit for 2-3mins.
Stir the ganache until smooth. If some pieces of chocolate remain un-melted, heat the mix in the microwave for 10secs and stir again. Repeat until your ganache is smooth and lump-free.
Allow the ganache to cool for 5mins, then pour this over the set cheesecake and refrigerate for 15mins.
Add any additional optional decorations, such as swirls of whipped cream, grated chocolate, cocoa powder dusting, etc. and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
