Do you hear that?
Krystleeeeeee. Pour me in your coffee!
Krystleeee you remembered the dog’s ear drops. Good job! Take a swig straight from the bottle. C’mon now you deserve it.
Ever since I made those Guinness Cupcakes the rest of that bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream has been calling my name.
So I decided to do the natural thing and make this Bailey’s Cheesecake recipe. This Baileys Cheesecake Recipe starts off with an easy oreo cookie crust.
The smooth fluffy cheesecake filing is spiked with a generous amount of Baileys Irish Cream. I used a half cup, but if you want to use 3/4 I’ll pretend I didn’t see. 😉
Then the whole thing is covered in rich chocolate ganache!

Not sure what you mean by wrap the springform pan with foil in two layers… How ? Do I sit the pan on the foil and wrap up the sides and bottom so that water doesn’t get into the pan?
Right exactly. Put on one layer of foil, and top it with another layer of foil to be extra safe.
Hi
If I do not have cornstarch; can I use flour instead??? Its -42 with wind today and I don’t want to leave the house lol
Oh my gosh so cold! I think flour would probably work.
