Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 250 grams mascarpone cheese
- 300 milliliters (10.1 fluid ounces) double cream
- 200 grams digestive biscuits
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
Sweeteners and Flavors:
- 100 grams icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
Garnish:
- Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Pulverize digestive biscuits into fine, sandy crumbs using a food processor or manual crushing technique.
- Incorporate melted butter thoroughly with biscuit crumbs, ensuring complete integration of ingredients.
- Transfer crumb mixture into a 20cm springform pan, pressing firmly and evenly across the base to create a compact foundation.
- Refrigerate the biscuit base for 30 minutes to solidify and enhance structural integrity.
- Whip double cream until soft, billowy peaks emerge, creating a light and airy texture.
- Gently fold mascarpone cheese, icing sugar, Baileys, and vanilla extract into the whipped cream, maintaining a smooth, consistent mixture.
- Adjust the mixture’s consistency by adding a small amount of milk if the texture appears overly dense.
- Carefully spread the creamy filling over the chilled biscuit base, using a spatula to create an even, polished surface.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow complete setting and flavor development.
- Prior to serving, enhance presentation by lightly dusting with cocoa powder and garnishing with delicate chocolate shavings or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Choose digestive biscuits with a crisp texture for a more defined and crunchier base that holds together perfectly.
- Ensure mascarpone and cream are at room temperature to create a smoother, lump-free filling with silky consistency.
- Consider using gluten-free digestive biscuits and swap regular butter with dairy-free alternative for those with dietary restrictions.
- Experiment with flavored Baileys like salted caramel or coffee for exciting taste variations that elevate the classic recipe.
