Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, fresh
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pure
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers, finely crushed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of crushed graham crackers with 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter until well mixed.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant.
- Let it cool completely while you prepare your filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and continue mixing until combined.
- Pour in 1/2 cup Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer and add 1 tablespoon cornstarch along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat until everything is well incorporated and silky smooth.
- In another bowl, whip up 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
- Pour the creamy filling over your cooled graham cracker crust in the springform pan.
- Use a spatula to spread it evenly, smoothing out the top.
- Lower your oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake your cheesecake for about 45-50 minutes or until it's set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven, crack open the door slightly, and let it cool inside for an hour.
- Once cooled completely at room temperature, cover your cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
- When ready to serve, carefully release the sides of the springform pan.
- Garnish as desired and slice yourself one generous piece.
