Fun Idea

To add a shamrock design, sprinkle the green coloured sugar over a clover leaf-shaped stencil placed on top of the chilled cheesecake.

Non-Alcoholic Variation

Add 1/4 cup boiling water to 1 Tbsp. Maxwell House Instant Coffee Original Roast and 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon; stir until dissolved. Use instead of the liqueur.

Size-Wise

Enjoy a serving of this rich and indulgent cheesecake on special occasions.

We were not impressed with this recipe. The taste was very bland ... you couldn't taste the chocolate or the Irish cream. Unfortunately we won't be adding this to our recipe book :/

I usually go for non-bake cheesecakes, but decided to try this and loved it. I did use the liquer. It was creamy, rich and full of flavour. Absolutely delicious. Can't wait to make this for my next family function.

I love cheese cakes, and the two i've just seen look absolutely delicious! There is one recipe I haven't been able to find....fruit pizza with cream cheese and blueberries!

I made this for my Saint Patricks Day dinner, and everyone wants the recipe. I did not have the green sugar so I covered the cake in green tinted whipping cream. Yummy!
