I know some people are intimidated at the thought of making cheesecake – and honestly, don’t be intimidated – it’s super easy! I know folks worry about cracks on their cheesecake – and let’s face it, it happens sometimes. Even to people who have baked many cheesecakes. If your cheesecake happens to crack on the top, no worries! For this Oreo Chocolate Irish Cream Cheesecake, I’ve got a delicious Irish Cream Whipped Cream to go over the top … no one will even notice if there are any cracks! Seriously, it’s that easy! Slice up a strawberry and put it on top to make it look all fancy and stuff!

Just a few things to note …. It is very important to bring all of your ingredients to room temperature as it does help with keeping your cheesecake lump free and gives you a smoother cheesecake. I would highly suggest using a springform baking pan – and grease it! I know …. most people don’t “grease” their cheesecake pans … just trust me on that. I always give my pans a light coating of shortening! Although you may be tempted to want to dig in right after you bake it – you really need to let it chill for the designated time – so be sure to allot enough time for chilling!
