Instructions
- Prepare a springform pan and create a buttery foundation by pulverizing 400 grams (14 ounces) of biscuits and thoroughly blending them with 60 grams (4 tablespoons) of melted butter.
- Evenly compress the biscuit mixture into the bottom of the pan, ensuring a uniform, compact base.
- Toast the crust in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 5 minutes, allowing it to set and develop a subtle golden hue.
- Remove the crust and permit it to cool completely while reducing the oven temperature to 120°C (250°F).
- In a large mixing bowl, delicately whisk together 500 grams (17.6 ounces) of creamy mascarpone cheese, 140 grams (5 ounces) of granulated sugar, and 3 whole eggs until smooth and well-integrated.
- Infuse the mixture with 15 centiliters (5 fluid ounces) of Bailey’s Irish Cream and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, stirring gently to maintain a silky consistency.
- Carefully pour the luxurious filling over the cooled biscuit crust, ensuring an even distribution.
- Bake the cheesecake for precisely 1 hour, then switch off the oven and allow the dessert to rest inside for an additional hour, creating a perfectly creamy texture.
- Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 8 hours, enabling it to set completely.
- Prior to serving, embellish the surface with a decadent chocolate sauce drizzle for an elegant finishing touch.
