I found myself at a restaurant recently and, unusually for me, I found myself not interested in any of the dessert options. Had this been on the menu however, I would have jumped at it and probably asked for seconds. This is a pudding to make for a loved one but only if they've been really lovely to you. (Don't tell them how easy this is, there could be major brownie points!)
Bailey's Cheesecake - Serves 1
Ingredients
30g, 1oz Cafe noir biscuits (these are like rich tea biscuits with coffee icing. If you can't get hold of these, use another biscuit of your choice ideally with a coffee or caremelised flavour, the flavour won't be quite the same but it will still be delicious)
20g, 2/3oz Salted butter
40g, 1 1/3oz White chocolate, I used a great quality white chocolate with vanilla beans which looks lovely in the finished cheesecake but you can use any white chocolate
80g, 3oz Ricotta
1 tsp Baileys or other Irish cream liqueur
Method
Crush the biscuits in a bag.
Melt the butter in a microwave, (I use salted butter because the gentle saltiness enhances the flavour of the biscuits.) Mix the melted butter in with the crumbs and press into a base of a ramekin or a ring on a serving plate. Cover and put into the fridge while you prepare the cheesecake topping.
Melt the white chocolate gently in a microwave on a medium heat until a thick liquid. Whisk in the ricotta and Irish Cream. Pour onto the base, cover, then refrigerate for an hour or so and serve.
