This is a really great cheesecake. The crust is amazing. I was a little surprised that the Bailey's wasn't that strong tasting but this one received rave reviews and I will absolutely be making many more times.

This isn't the Bailey's recipe I remember from this site-it had chocolate chips, and a mocha topping. Does any one still have that recipe?

the only problem i have with this recipe is tha quantity of people u say it can seve, it is impossible for this to serve 10 dozen people, that is the only thing that needs to be changed on it, other than that its a good recipe, almost exactly like the one i use for my business
