Need a dessert for St. Patrick's Day?  Here you go!  I got this recipe from our school nurse back in the 80's.  We used to beg her to make it for staff luncheons.

Printable Recpe

Ingredients:

8 ½ oz. package chocolate wafers

4 oz. Butter (1 stick)

24 oz. cream cheese at room temperature

¾  cup sugar

4 eggs at room temperature

½ cup Baileys Irish Cream

Cool Whip

Chocolate Shavings

Crush chocolate wafers between wax paper or in a food processor

and use a pastry cutter to blend in butter--the consistency should

hold together.  Use an 11 inch springform pan and spread crust on

bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan.  Chill.

Hand mix cream cheese, sugar, 1 egg and ½ cup Baileys.  

Add 3 more eggs one at a time while mixing.

Pour into pan and cook at 325 degrees for 45 minutes or until firm.

Cool and refrigerate.

Add Cool Whip on top and shavings fron any chocolate bar.  

You can use whipped cream instead of the Cool Whip, if desired.
