Baileys Cheesescake recipe

This is the recipe for the cheesecake Phil made for Eric's birthday BBQ. Helen recently emailed it to me as so many people asked for it. Obviously it was written by a bloke! Thanks Phil for allowing me to post on blog.

9 teaspoons Davis Gelatine dissolve in 375 mils hot boiled water mix with fork and stand( buy in C/down New World made from beef skin so no good to veggies etc)

Two 250grm packs Philidelphia soft cream cheese and 4 ounces castor sugar beat together add as much alcohol as you fancy one third (of a bottle) to a half is plenty blend together slowly so as not to curdle put to one side.

500ml bottle fresh cream whip till just together don't over whisk. Plonk on top of cheese mixture.

The white of four fresh eggs in a very clean bowl( grease will knock the whites bandy) whisk to a nice fluffy peak, put on top of rest of mixture mix with big wooden spoon or handle, slow and gentle keep as much air in the mix as poss, but don't worry to much, add the Gelatine liquid to the mix slowly but progressively mixing gently all the time till all blended together, it will be very runny,

Two 250grms packets of digestives nicely crumbled melt 4oz butter and mix with digestivie if a bit dry just add more butter, squeeze in your hand wants too bind together put in base of your cake tin flatten level ( bottom of glass good for this) line the bottom to tin with grease proof easier to put piece in bottom snap together and trim around the out side. If you do this after you have got the Gelatine ready you will be ready to rock and roll.

Now just pour into biscuit base, its really runny and should level out with a little shuffle/shake of the tin.

Put in fridge, pref over night on a tray cos its pretty heavy and you don't wanna do what I did.

If you have mix over just whack in a bowl or little dish to set for later with some fruit on top??

If you get the Gelatine ready about 1hr before it wont be too hot and make the mix separate when you mix, but make sure its not starting too set or your mix will be lumpy this is a light c/cake if you want it a bit heavier another 250grm cheese should do it.
