Bailey's Irish Cream Cake |
According to the Baileys Website, Baileys is the only cream
liqueur that guarantees a totally natural product which
delivers that unique, smooth Baileys taste for 24 months from
the day it was made. That's a bold statement. And
this is a bold cream cake! |

- To crush the Vanilla Wafers, put the cookies in a
plastic bag and finely crush them until you have enough.

crushed wafers.
- Press the wafer and butter mixture into the base of a
8-inch cake or pie tin for the crust.
- Dissolve the gelatin in just enough cold water to
soften and reserve.
- In a large mixing bowl Beat together the cream cheese
and sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff
peaks and fold in the Bailey's Irish Cream.
- Gently fold the Bailey's and cream mixture into the
creamed cheese and sugar.

ingredients.
- Pour the cheese mixture on top of the wafer crust.
- Refrigerate and allow to set for about 2 hours.

whipped cream and a fan of freshly sliced strawberries.

Serve cold and with some Irish coffee. Don't forget to
refrigerate any cheesecake that remains, but I doubt any will. |
