I tweaked a basic baked cheesecake recipe to make this one. It was made as a birthday cake, so it's enormous. I baked it in a large oblong roasting tin with high sides. Forgot to take a photo - sorry about that.
Ingredients (serves approx. 25)
500g sweet biscuits (Granita/digestive are best), crushed
250g butter, melted
1tsp mixed spice
1kg cream cheese
1 1/2 cups (330g) caster sugar
9 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (250mL) Bailey's Irish Cream
50g dark chocolate, melted
Grease baking tray and line with baking paper.
Mix together crushed biscuits and melted butter. Press into prepared tin. Chill for 30 minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees C (140 for fan-forced).
Beat eggs and sugar until thick and creamy. Beat cream cheese in a separate, large bowl until smooth. Add egg mixture, Bailey's and vanilla extract to cream cheese, beat until combined. Pour mixture over prepared base. Drizzle top with melted chocolate to give marble effect.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until firm in the middle. Leave to cool in oven with door ajar. Cover, refrigerate.
And what a delicious cheesecake it was! Sooooo good! I loved it!
