I made this for Christmas and it came out flawless. I baked it in a waterbath to keep it from cracking. I got great reviews on it. Everyone thought that it was store bought. It was my very first cheese cake so I was very excited that it came out great.

A very good cheesecake. I substituted Creme De Cocoa for the Irish Creme with excellent results.

I used 1/2 c. Bailey's as others had suggested and I thought it was perfect. I also baked it in a water bath and the texture was exactly what I was looking for - smooth but not mousse-like. This was a winner and I will definitely make it again.

This recipe is fantastic!! I also add more Irish Cream than is called for (I LOVE Irish Cream), but other than that I prepare as written and it always turns out great. Wonderful recipe! Thank you!

I had never made a cheesecake in my life - I was so surprised by the ease of baking this one. The family and friends just went crazy over this-will need to make 2 the next time. I had a problem with the cracking too, so next time I'll do the water bath, grease & flour, let it sit in the oven with the door cracked open to cool. (obviously I just now read the other reviews!) I also used extra butter in the crust portion..it just felt too crumbly to hold together without it. I'll make this one again, and again, and again, and again............

I brought this to work, it went very quickly and everybody raved about it. I did make some changes - I used chocolate graham cracker crumbs, 2 Tbs regular sugar instead of the confectioners sugar, and half of the cocoa for the crust. I didn't bake the crust either (I actually just forgot that part). I also put in just shy of a 1/2 cup of irish cream, as some other people have suggested. I also greased and lightly floured the spingform pan since I read all those posts about the cake cracking badly. I started to do the waterbath, putting a pan of water on the rack below, but I took it out after 10 minutes, since I have never baked any cheesecakes that way, and never had a big problem with cracking....I read some posts about the texture being like "mousse" and I was a bit worried. After the baking was done I left the cheesecake in the oven to cool with the oven door partially open. The texture was excellent, not like mousse, so I was pleased. I personally prefer regular cheesecake, but like I said, everybody raved about this cheesecake.

i was worried while making this cheesecake that it was going to be too creamy and soft, but it really ended up with a nice texture. tasted really good, but i couldn't taste the irish cream even though i added more than the recipe called for.

I served this at a dinner party to rave reviews. One guest said it was the best cheesecake he's ever had! Add some extra Bailey's. Note however that the chocolate and Bailey's flavors are very mild. Doesn't have the tang of a NY-style cheesecake, but incredibly smooth flavor and texture.

I made this at Christmas and it was FANTASTIC! I was a little worried because it had to share oven space with a turducken, and my sister's kitchen is not very well equipped for anything that doesn't come from the refridgerated dough section. In spite of all that, it was great. I put a pan of water in the oven and it didn't crack (heck, maybe the turducken helped). The only thing I changed was I put a LOT more irish cream in it. I used about a bottle and a half of the Bailey's minis.

I loved this cheesecake. I made sure to put a pan of water in the oven while it baked, then left it in the oven an hour after it baked. It was beautiful, and I didn't even garnish it before presentation. I used 1/3 cup of irish cream, and I will use more next time, because I could barely taste the irish cream. I thought this cheesecake tasted best two days after making it. Who knows how good it'd taste on the third day - it didn't last that long! :) Angela

IME most important thing to do to prevent cracks in my cheesecakes is to GREASE AND FLOUR my cake pans. this is becos cheesecake will tend to shrink and hold together as it bakes, so if you don't grease and flour, the cake will stick to the sides. the surface tension will be too much so it cracks in the middle. a water bath will further reduce the likelihood of the cracking, but the greasing and flouring is the deciding factor. hope this helps.

This is always good; even if it did crack, nobody would notice because of the taste.

This cheesecake was amazing! I didn't have much time so I just bought a store-bought chocolate graham cracker crust and it was still delicious.

Since I was looking for a Kahlua cheesecake recipe, I modified this one to reflect that. I took the advice of adding more butter to crumb mixture (used 1/3 cup) and it was perfect, held it's shape. Then I added 1/4 tsp vanilla and instead of 1/4 cup Irish Cream, put in 1/3 cup Kahlua (or other coffee flavored liqueur) and sprinkled about 1 more tablespoon of floor cause I thought it was a bit thin. Turned out fantastic! Couldn't do much about the cracking on top but decorated with chocolate whip cream rosettes and placed a chocolate covered coffee bean ontop. Nummy! Also quick note: take out of fridge approximately 20 minutes before serving, better taste.
