Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we get started, let’s gather all our ingredients. The best thing about this cheesecake is that most of the items are pantry staples! Here’s what you’ll need for the magic:

  • 1 ½ cups of crushed graham crackers
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white chocolate, melted (plus a bit extra for drizzling)
  • ½ cup Irish cream liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Let’s Get This Cheesecake Going!

  1. Prepare the crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter and powdered sugar. Mix until well blended. It should resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Don’t be shy—put some elbow grease into it!

  2. Make the filling: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Look at you, channeling your inner baker! In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the melted white chocolate, Irish cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until combined and creamy.

  3. Fold it all together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. This is where the magic happens—fold until no clumps remain, and everything is beautifully blended.

  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the luscious filling into the crust and spread it evenly. It’s okay to lick the spoon after—no judgment here!

  5. Chill out: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight. This is definitely the hardest part—waiting! But trust me, it’s worth it.

  6. Garnish and serve: Once set, release the springform pan and transfer your cheesecake to a serving plate. Drizzle with melted white chocolate for that extra touch of “wow,” slice it up, and serve it to your eager friends and family!

Cooking Tips for Perfect Results

  • Make ahead: This cheesecake gets even better the longer it sits, so don’t hesitate to make it a day or two in advance.
  • Don’t skimp on the cream cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese for that dreamy richness. You deserve the creaminess!
  • Add some flair: Consider garnishing with chocolate shavings or fresh berries to elevate your presentation. Nothing says "I’ve got my life together" like a well-presented dessert!
