Oreo Chocolate Irish Cream Cheesecake with Irish Cream Whipped Cream

I love cheesecake … awww, who am I kidding?! I love all kinds of dessert! However, cheesecake definitely ranks up near the top on my favorite list! Make it a chocolate cheesecake, and I am in Heaven! Seriously, it is soooo hard to resist!

I know some people are intimidated at the thought of making cheesecake, but don’t be intimidated – it’s super easy! I know folks worry about cracks on their cheesecake – and let’s face it, it happens sometimes. Even to people who have baked many cheesecakes. If your cheesecake happens to crack on the top, no worries! For this cheesecake, I’ve got a delicious Irish Cream Whipped Cream to go over the top, so no one will even notice the cracks! Seriously, it’s that easy! Slice up a strawberry and put it on top to make it look all fancy and stuff!

Just a few things to note …. It is very important to bring all of your ingredients to room temperature as it does help with keeping your cheesecake lump free and gives you a smoother cheesecake. I would highly suggest using a springform baking pan – and grease it! Now …. most people don’t “grease” their cheesecake pans … just trust me on that. I always give my pans a light coating of shortening! Although you may want to dig in right after you bake it – you need to let it chill for the designated time – to be sure to allow enough time for chilling!
