This recipe is really rich! I took the other suggestions and added 1/3 c of Irish Cream. But my favorite part of this recipe is the crust! Everyone was so impressed by the flavor from the crust that I now use this crust recipe anytime a cheesecake calls for a chocolate cookie crumb crust.

I make cheesecake all the time and I think this is a great base recipe. My boyfriend wanted a Butterfinger and Reeses cheesecake for his birthday so I used this recipe as a foundation. For the crust I used the instructions for the crust of the Irish Cream Chocolate Cheesecake that is also found on this website. You mix 1 1/2 c of chocolate cookie crumbs, 1/3 c of powdered sugar and 1/3 c of coco powder together then stir in 1/4 c melted butter. Bake for 10 min. Then I always give mine plenty of time to cool before adding the cheesecake filling. I use this crust a lot and everyone always raves about it. For the filling in crushed 5 fun size Butterfinger and cut up 5 Reeses cups. The cheesecake turned out awesome and my boyfriend said it was the best one yet!
