    There are so many different cheesecake recipes out there. OMG. Basically, each country has its own version of this classic bake. And of course, only the one your mom made, is the best one! ;) You can make them with or without a base/crust, bake them or only cool them in the fridge, use cream cheese or any other variation of cheese etc. pp. One American city, in particular, has a very famous cheesecake version – the NY cheesecake! So today’s cheesecake is based on that one with a little something extra: Baileys ;)

    With a good NY cheesecake you can make many people happy I guess. Not everybody though. Some say it’s too sweet and too heavy. Compared with the cheesecakes here in Germany it’s true – we normally use a bit less sugar and also different ingredients which make most cheesecake versions slightly less heavy. At least on your plate – they till jump right to your hips if you are not careful :P I don’t mind a good sweet and fatty cheesecake. Take a smaller piece and all is fine…

    My NY cheesecake version here has some Baileys in it. I like to add alcohol to my bakes – you already know that. The alcohol evaporates mostly anyways, but the flavors stay inside – and the light whiskey flavor from the Baileys works really nice in a cheesecake I think.

    I got my inspiration for this cake from a little advertising poster outside of a coffee shop on my way to work. I pass by every morning with the tram and it said “Try our coffee specialties along with a nice piece of Baileys NY Cheesecake! It’s 6,95 Euro only!” Yeah – bit too pricey, so I decided to make me some cheesecake at home. Much better ;)

    You can use many other liquors as well if you like – coffee liquor, hazelnut liquor, almond liquor and so on. If it’s a strong one, I recommend to use a bit less and fill up with some milk until you reach the amount stated in the recipe.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9.5 inches (24cm) springform tin with baking parchment, grease lightly and set aside. Melt the butter for the base.

    2. Add the cookies to a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin or the back of a pot until you get fine crumbs. Add the cookie crumbs to a bowl and mix with sugar, salt, and the melted butter – mix until well combined. Fill into the prepared tin and press to the bottom to get a smooth layer. Bake for about 10 minutes until the top has a nice golden color. Take out of the oven and let cool down.

    3. Lower the temperature of the oven to a 320°F (160°C). Place a baking sheet with a high rim in the lower third of the oven and a baking rack on top of that. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, Baileys, and sugar to a large bowl and mix on low speed for about 5 minutes until well combined and smooth. Sift the flour into the bowl and mix in. Add the eggs one by one and mix in until well combined (still on low speed). Fill into the prepared tin – the filling will go right up to the edge. Place the tin carefully on the baking rack and fill some hot water into the baking sheet underneath to get some steam in the oven while baking the cake. Bake for about 50 minutes. Check from time to time if the top starts to brown and cover with some aluminum foil in case it does. The edges of the cake should have set but the center can still be a bit wiggly. Turn off the oven, leave the oven door a bit open and leave the cake for another 30-45 minutes in the oven. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely, then place in the fridge over night (covered).

    4. For the almond brittle line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Add the sugar to a coated pan and heat up over medium heat without stirring. As soon as the sugar is melted and has a nice golden color, add the slivered almonds and mix. Pour the mix on the prepared baking sheet and flatten to one big layer. Let cool down completely, then break into small pieces and decorate the cheesecake with it.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 24cm (9.5 inches) Springform mit Backpapier auslegen und leicht einfetten. Zur Seite stellen. Die Butter für den Boden schmelzen.

    2. Die Butterkekse in einen Gefrierbeutel geben und mit einem Nudelholz oder einem Topf zu feinen Bröseln zerdrücken. Die Brösel in eine Schüssel geben und mit dem Zucker, Salz und der geschmolzenen Butter vermischen, bis die Brösel gleichmäßig angefeuchtet sind durch die Butter. In die Form füllen und mit der Rückseite eines Löffels zu einer glatten Schicht pressen. Für etwa 10 Minuten backen, bis die Oberfläche eine leicht goldene Farbe bekommen hat. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen.

    3. Die Temperatur des Ofens auf 160°C (320°F) senken. Ein Blech mit höherem Rand ins untere Drittel des Ofen schieben und darüber ein Backrost/Gitter. Den Frischkäse zusammen mit der Sauren Sahne, Baileys und Zucker in einer großen Schüssel für etwa 5 Minuten auf niedrigster Stufe zu einer glatten Masse verrühren. Das Mehl darüber sieben und dann unterrühren. Die Eier einzeln dazugeben und ebenfalls unterrühren, bis eine glatte Masse entsteht. In die vorbereitete Form füllen (geht bis fast unter den Rand der Form). Die Form auf das Backrost/Gitter im Ofen stellen und in das Backblech darunter etwas heißes Wasser einfüllen, damit sich Dampf bilden kann. Für etwa 50 Minuten backen – Nach der Hälfte der Backzeit immer wieder mal nachschauen, ob der Kuchen Farbe bekommt und ggf. mit etwas Alufolie abdecken um das zu verhindern. Die Seiten des Kuchens sollten fest geworden sein und die Mitte noch minimal wackeln, wenn man an der Form rüttelt, dann kann der Ofen ausgeschaltet werden. Öffnet die Ofentür ein wenig und lasst den Kuchen für mindestens 30-45 Minuten im ausgeschalteten Ofen stehen, dann herausnehmen und komplett auskühlen lassen. Den abgekühlten Cheesecake über Nacht (abgedeckt) in den Kühlschrank stellen. Vor dem Servieren etwa 10 Minuten auf Zimmertemperatur kommen lassen.

    4. Für das Mandelkrokant ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Den Zucker in einer beschichteten Pfanne auf niedriger Temperatur ohne Rühren schmelzen lassen – dabei darauf achten, dass nichts anbrennt. Sobald der Zucker geschmolzen und eine schöne goldene Farbe bekommen hat, die Mandelblättchen dazugeben, verrühren und dann auf dem Backblech verteilen und Glattstreichen. Sobald die Masse abgekühlt ist, in kleinere Stücke zerbrechen und auf dem Käsekuchen verteilen.

      In the recipe it calls for flour but in the instructions it does not. Which is correct?

        Hi Kayie,

        the flour is correct – it should be added before you add the eggs.
        Got somehow lost in the English version of the recipe but should be there now.

        Cheers,
        Marc

      I honestly don’t know how this cheesecake doesn’t get more reviews or track higher on Google searches, cuz lemme tell you I’ve made the works of the cheesecakes out there – and this is the TRUTH. If there’s any apprehension that a German blog couldn’t possibly hold the secret to maybe the best NY style Baileys cheesecake you can pull from the depths of the internet, strike it from your mind; Marc has done it.

      I followed the instructions exactly, and added two overflowing teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 tsp of instant coffee. Had a 23cm (9in) pan, so threw an extra 5 min cook time on and it came out perfectly.
