Answer 2

Baileys and white chocolate Cheesecake

For the base:
300g Bisuicts (Digestives or HobNobs are good)
100g Unsalted Butter, melted
Zest of 1 orange, finely grated

For the filling:
500g Mascarpone Cream Cheese
125ml Double Cream
125g Icing Sugar
200g Good quality white chocolate
50g Good quality dark chocolate
2 shots of Baileys

Crumble the biscuits to a fine powder, mix through the butter and orange zest, then press into the base of a metal ring, and refridgerate to set.

For the filling, melt the white chocolate, and pour onto the mascarpone. Beat the double cream to soft peaks with the icing sugar, then fold this through the mascarpone / chocolate mixture. Add the baileys. Melt the dark chocolate, and swirl this through the white choc mixture to give a marbled effect. Pour the filling onto the base, and leave to set. Dust lightly with cocoa powder to serve

EASY CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

2 (4 oz. each) pkgs. Baker's German's sweet chocolate, divided
2 eggs
2/3 c. Karo, light or dark corn syrup
1/3 c. heavy cream
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 (8 oz. each) pkgs. cream cheese, cut in cubes
Crumb crust (recipe follows)

Melt 1 1/2 packages (6 ounces) chocolate. Blend eggs, corn syrup, cream and vanilla in blender until smooth. With blender running, gradually add cream cheese; blend until smooth. Blend in chocolate. Pour into crust. Bake in 325 degree oven for 45 minutes or until set. Cool on rack. Cover; chill. Melt remaining chocolate; drizzle over top. Serves 8.
CRUMB CRUST: In 9 inch pie plate or 9 x 3 inch springform pan combine 1 3/4 cups chocolate cookie or graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/3 cup butter, melted, until well mixed. Press evenly in pie plate or on bottom and 1/1 4 inch up side of springform pan.

Answer 4

Try this:

1 prepared graham cracker crust
2 8 oz blocks of cream cheese, softened a bit at room temperature.
1 13 oz jar of Nutella (choc hazelnut spread)

*Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts. (kind of takes away from the luxurious texture if you ask me.)

Instructions:

Remove a couple tablespoons of Nutella and place in a glass measuring cup. You will melt this in the microwave.

Whip cream cheese, remaining Nutella, and nuts together with a hand mixer until it is smooth and creamy.

Pour into crust and spread evenly.

Drizzle melted Nutella over the top. Sprinkle a few finely chopped nuts on(optional)

Chill and serve.
