List of Ingredients




For Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
� cup granulated sugar
� lb (one stick) butter, melted
1 Tbsp honey

Combine ingredients, mixing by hand until crumbs are moist and sticky. Butter inside of a 9-inch springform pan. Press crumbs into bottom and along sides. Set aside.

For Cheesecake Filling:
2 � lbs Philadelphia� (or other high-quality) cream cheese, softened
1 � cups sugar
5 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
� tsp vanilla extract
1 cup Bailey�s Irish Cream� liqueur (no substitutions)

Recipe



Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Blend cream cheese and sugar with mixer until creamy. Add eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well, scraping sides of bowl frequently to incorporate all ingredients. Add vanilla extract and liqueur, mixing well again. Pour into prepared crust.

Let cheesecake cool slightly at room temperature, then chill completely � preferably overnight. The cheesecake will have a mousse-like texture when it comes out of the oven and requires thorough chilling to set. Serves 12.
