This cheesecake was amazing. I took advice from other reviewers and upped the irish cream to 1/2 cup. It was just enough. You could taste it without it being overwhelming. The chocolate was also great...not too dark, just enough. Although I bake a lot, I don't make cheesecake often. This came out well, just one little crack. I did do pans of water in the oven as opposed to a water bath (I was afraid of it seeping into my cheesecake) and I used ingredients all at room temp. I would definitely make this again...everyone really loved it.

This was a really good cheesecake. However, it is very very rich. It had far more chocolate flavor than the irish cream. The bailey's got lost in the all the chocolate...but it is still yummy!

This is an amazing recipe. I took it to work and didn't have any leftovers. The women in my office bake a lot and they recommended not baking the crust beforehand; the longer it bakes the harder the crust gets. I followed the recipe except like others I used 1/2 cup of Irish cream. I let the ingredients set out at room temperature before. I also used low-fat cream cheese and sour cream; it had a really creamy consistency. I topped it with chocolate fudge, and next time I think I will add chocolate chips. One tip I do have is watch the baking time and the temperature. You know how your oven works. My oven runs hot, so I lowered the temperature by about 25 degrees when baking.

This is a recipe for an incredibly rich, restaurant quality (yes I'm talking CHEESECAKE FACTORY) cheesecake! I made this twice - once as a whole cheesecake, then second as mini cheesecake cupcakes. First time, I followed the recipe as-is except added 1/2 cup of irish cream as others had mentioned. For the crust, instead of chocolate cookies I used chocolate graham crackers which you can get next to the normal graham crackers at your supermarket. I even baked this a few days ahead of serving and it was marvelous. Second time, I made into cupcakes by just smashing the crust into each cupcake liner with the end of a plastic cup, and then pouring the cheesecake mixture ALMOST to the top. I baked at 325 for 25 minutes and these were delicious too! I realize 1/3 cup of baileys is the best amount.

Simply astounding! I also get amazing compliments whenever I take this to a party. As is, it's a bit too much chocolate for me, so I use regular cookie crumbs for the crust. I also tend to use more Bailey's - it hasn't hurt things yet!

This was the first cheesecake I had ever attempted and I followed the recipe to the letter as far as I understood it and the only thing that I did different was a touch more Baileys and let it sit in the oven with the door closed for one hour after it was done baking. I have made at least 5 more since for parties and such and none cracked with this method. I did try to use good quality ingredients in every part and for me each cake seemed to taste better than the last.

I actually used this recipe to make mini cheesecakes for a party. I followed reviewers' advice and used a 1/2 cup of Irish cream in the batter - yum! Then I used chocolate graham crackers, a bit of sugar and melted butter for the crust, and pressed it into the bottom of muffin pans. I did prebake them and let them cool before pouring on the batter. I baked them at 300 for around 30 minutes (turning on the oven light to check them), then left them in the cooling oven for another 20 minutes. For a topping, I made chocolate whipped cream. If I make this again, I'd probably try to get more chocolate in there, either with a ganache topping or more cocoa in the batter. Still, it was very yummy as is!

Fantastic! Works out every time and gets rave reviews. Took another reviewers advice and wrap the cake pan half way up with tinfoil, put in shallow pan and pour in hot water half way up cake pan. Helps to keep the cake from cracking.

YUM ! Big hit with my family. As mentioned in other comments, mine cracked a bit.Without going to the trouble of using suggested baking tips to avoid cracks, I just baked it and hid any flaws with chocolate whipped cream. Very tastey - will make again.

This has become one of my signature potluck desserts! I omit the cocoa from the filling and cover the cooled cheesecake with a dark chocolate ganache. There are never leftovers!

I prepared this exactly as stated in the recipe. I found the cooking time of 10 minutes at 450 caused the sides to burn, giving a bitter, burnt taste to the last couple bites of an otherwise wonderful cheesecake. I will make another one in the morning for my dinner party. I just realized I used too big of a pan. Maybe that had something to do with it. I've been known to have "user error". Thanks for a good recipe. Let's see if I can get it right this time. Will let you know. :)

This came out absolutely delicious! I used Pepperidge Farms Chocolate Chessmen for the crust, and I also added some crushed thin mints on top of the finished cake for garnish. To bring out the minty side of things, I might add a touch of mint extract next time, but everything is great as is!

Made this for work the other day. Being that it was the first cheese cake I have ever made I know know it may be the last receipie I will ever use. It was turned out freaking awsome. I used chocolate gramcracker crust and added fresh whipping cream and crushed gramcrackers on top as well. Eveyone said it looking like i bought it at a bakery instead of making it myself. I think i might try it next with out the irish cream plan gramcrackers and fresh strawberrys next....

Great cheesecake! I made this for an Easter dinner and it was well received. Followed the recipe to the T and the Irish Cream flavor was perfect. No cracks or bubbles in my cake; reading the allrecipes articles about cheesecakes taught me a lot of good tips before I started.
