Baileys Irish Cream cheesecake
 

I'm looking for a reciepe for this cheesecake, that doesnt use a spring form pan. Anyone got any ideas?

It would be easier to just buy a cheap springform pan from a goodwill or something. I've not made alot of good cheesecakes w/o one, and I'm not too familiar with recipes that don't call for one.

Best I could find with a quick look is a no bake one. I suggest going for a spring form or a cheesecake pan, this will make your life much easier.



Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake
submitted by M.K. Warren

1 1/2 cups Vanilla Wafers; Crushed
1 cup Butter
5 Envelopes Gelatin
Water (About 5 Tbs.)
8 oz. Cream Cheese
3/4 cup Granulated sugar
2 cups Heavy Cream
1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
Whipped Cream & Fresh Strawberries for Garnish (Optional)

To prepare vanilla wafer crumbs, place cookies in a plastic bag and finely crush until the required amount has been prepared. Place the vanilla wafer crumbs in a small mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and mix with the crushed wafers. Press the wafer and butter mixture into the base of a 8-inch cake or pie tin.

Dissolve the gelatin in just enough cold water to soften and reserve. In a large mixing bowl Beat together the cream cheese and sugar until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold in the Bailey¡¦s Irish Cream. Gently fold the Bailey¡¦s and cream mixture into the creamed cheese and sugar. Add gelatin and continue to gently fold to combine all ingredients.

Pour the cheese mixture on top of the wafer crust. Refrigerate and allow to set for 1 to 2-hours. Garnish with rosettes of whipped cream and a fan of freshly sliced strawberries, if desired. Serve cold and refrigerate any cheesecake that remains.

Why not go for a pre-done crust? There are plenty on the market, mostly graham cracker crusts.

(dumb and dumber) ummmm, that sounds good, I'll have that

That recipe sounds good. I had a friend who made some Bailey's Irish Cream Brownies once, now THOSE were good.

if youre making a cheesecake with a crust you need a springform pan as it is quite the task to get one with a crust out if you dont use one

I prefer no crust on my cheesecake so I dont use springform pans.

Reason for making your own crust is the shear fact that you made it. I can go buy a cheesecake too, but I want to make mine. Atleast thats my opinion.
And it sounds like I'll just have to go buy a spring form pan. Its not the price, I was just feeling lazy and didnt want to go buy a pan that I'll only use on occasion.

Because homemade springform crusts are just plain better. You can be creative and put your own personal touch on it. For instance, I like to add ground nuts or seeds to my crusts, such as hazelnuts, walnuts or almonds with brown sugar and real butter, scrumptiously gourmet... :cool:
