I made this a while back. I pieced a recipe together from three or four different sources. I was very happy with the creaminess of the filling, due partly to the water bath. The one thing I did notice is that the flavor of the Bailey's was a bit harsh for my taste. But the second day it was wonderful, so I think it's a recipe that benefits from a bit of aging - or cut back on the Bailey's. Incredibly rich and will serve a large group. Just a sliver is plenty. Bailey's Irish Cream & Double Chocolate Cheesecake Serving Size : 12 (at least) Categories : Desserts  Cheesecakes Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- Crust: 1 1/3 cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs -- (about 18 wafers) 2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup butter -- melted Filling: 1 1/2 pounds cream cheese -- room temperature 3/4 cup sugar 3 eggs -- room temperature 1/3 cup Bailey's Irish Cream 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 ounces white chocolate -- chopped fine (preferably Callebaut) Topping: 1 1/2 cups sour cream 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1 1/2 ounces white chocolate -- grated Butter 9-inch springform.

Mix sour cream and powdered sugar and spread on cheesecake. Refrigerate at least 6 hours. Sprinkle chocolate and additional cookie crumbs (if desired). Serve. Carol

Oooh, thank you Jannie! I would have missed that completely! I just bought some recently too. Trish

Thank you so much TH! Do you have any other pics that you could post and would you mind if I saved them to my files? Should have done that last time! Hey - I see a picture and sconces in your DR. When did they go up? Are you ready for the onslaught of questions for you about your DR and the glimpse of your lovely, lovely kitchen? Just warnin' ya! I feel it coming your way it always happens when you post pics! Anytime that I see how your color flows there is a part of me that wishes that I'd gone ahead and followed through w/ an old plan that I'd had for my house: My DR was already black and the central hall was cream (still is) as well as the office and kitchen w/ a warm green LR. The ceiling in my hall that all rms. lead off of has been sky blue for yrs. but I had suddenly wanted to paint the hall ceiling black leading into the kitchen where I'd paint that ceiling black too and bring it down onto the top 1/4 or 1/3 of the kitchen walls. All of the guys that I worked w/ at the furnishings store were so into seeing me do that but I never did and then my DR ended up warm blue anyway.

Now that fudge looks fantastic! I think I will give that a try. I have not made fudge in years but this is too yummy to pass up. I may have to get another bottle of Irish Cream- I think I have some drinking buddies all set to go here! Trish
