Baileys cheesecake

Total: 10 hr | Active: 45 min.

This vegan cheesecake with Baileys Irish cream liqueur is one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. The base is similar to shortbread and goes beautifully with the creamy cheesecake layer infused with a shot of Baileys. The cake is finished off with a decadent chocolate glaze.
