Adults-Only Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
For the Crust
26 Oreo cookies
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1/8 tsp. kosher salt
For the Cheesecake
4 8-oz. bars cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. cornstarch
4 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 c. Bailey's
For the Ganache
1/3 c. heavy cream
1 cup chopped semisweet chocolate or chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 9" springform pan.
2. Make crust: In a food processor, blend Oreos with melted butter and mix
until combined. Freeze 10 minutes, then bake 10 minutes. Let cool. Reduce oven
temperature to 325 degrees F.
3. Meanwhile, make cheesecake: In a stand mixer on medium speed using the
paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth and no
lumps remain. Add cornstarch, then add eggs one at a time, beating 1 minute
between each addition. Add vanilla extract and Bailey's.
4. Pour batter into cooled crust and tightly wrap outside of pan with two
layers of aluminum foil. Transfer pan to a roasting pan and pour in enough
boiling water to reach halfway up the cheesecake pan. Bake until the cheesecake
is only slightly jiggly in the center and golden on the edges, about 1 hour.
Turn off oven, slightly open the door, and let cheesecake cool down in the oven
for 1 hour, then remove from water bath and transfer to the refrigerator to
completely cool, at least 4 hours.
5. When ready to serve, make ganache: In a small saucepan over low heat, heat
heavy cream. Place chocolate in a heat-safe bowl and pour over hot heavy cream.
Let sit 3 minutes, then stir until creamy. Transfer ganache to the refrigerator
to let thicken, 30 minutes, then spread 3/4 of the ganache over cheesecake.
Freeze 5 minutes. Reheat remaining 1/4 ganache and use a spatula to add a shiny
thin layer of ganache. Serve immediately.
