What do you need for a Cheesecake with Irish Coffee?
To prepare this Irish Coffee cheesecake, you will need the following ingredients. You can find the correct quantities in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Speculoos and butter: For making the base. By crumbling the cookies and melting the butter, you get a delicious hard base.
- Instead of Speculoos Biscoff cookies, you can also use other cookies such as Graham crackers or Chocolate cookies.
- Use unsalted butter.
- Coffee: Use hot coffee to dissolve the gelatin well.
- Gelatin: You can buy it as sheets or as gelatin powder. Start by softening the gelatin in the water, and then you need to dissolve it in a hot liquid. It does not matter which type of gelatin you use for the result.
- If you use gelatin powder, use a tablespoon or 9 grams.
- Whiskey: Use a smoky whiskey (Bourbon), which tastes delicious with this.
- Vanilla Custard and Cream Cheese: Make the cheesecake thick and creamy. And the custard gives a hint of vanilla.
- Cream: By whipping and adding the whipped cream, the cheesecake becomes airy.
- Sugar: To sweeten the cake.
Expert Tips
- Mix the crumbled cookies with melted butter and let harden in the refrigerator. This gives you a delicious, crispy base.
- Remove the cream cheese from the fridge an hour before adding it. This makes it soft, and you don't get any lumps.
- Make sure the cream is nice and cold. That way, when mixing, the cream will set better.
