BLINKBLINK **
It had been quite sometime since I last baked something. I would reckon it might be at least half a year since I last baked something. Recently, I have been craving for cheese cake. I wanted to make cheese cake wedneday. However, I have been really tired, busy with quite a lot of things and lacked of certain ingredients.
On thurday morning before I head out for my grocery shopping with Michelle, I searched on google websites for recipes on cheesecake recipe consisting of baileys and chocolates. I chose to bake this cake due to:
(1) I am a chocoholic.
(2) I have 2 bottles of baileys and I want to make a recipe out of my caramel baileys.
Therefore, I decided to bake cheesecake comprising of those 2 ingredients.
That afternoon, I went to Coles and got most of my ingredients. However, I did not write down the recipe on a piece of paper for my grocery list. I realized that I was missing one block of cream cheese for my cake. Hence, I can only make a cake using one block of philadelphia cream cheese. I combined a couple of recipes and came out with my recipes. It is my first time making a baked cheesecake. I used to make the other kind of cheesecake using gelatine. However, I wanted to do something different. Therefore, I decided to try the baking option this time. Anyway, here are the pictures.

Baking in Progress
Freshly baked from the oven
It was quite a long wait (~1.5 hours) before my cake finally baked. However, I was impatient and try my new creation. Therefore, I cut my cake within 5-10 minutes after baking which I reckon there isn't sufficient time for it to cool down. The texture was very mashy and disgusting. I seriously think it is a flop. The first time I tried the cake, it had a very strong baileys taste. It might be the possibility of me not mixing evenly before I baked my cake. Or it might possible be due to the taste not settled down yet.
The sliced piece (after cooling)
However, after a couple of hours cooling down in the fridge, the appearance seems to have improved. I am able to see 3 layers of the cake now. The taste is quite fantastic too. Simply love it. Neither too sweet nor having the strong baileys taste.
Next time, if I were to make another cheesecake, I reckon I might try to use the other method (frozen) cheesecake in future. It might possibly be a better option.
Anyway, thanks for reading my blog. Hope you all enjoy reading it. Good night for now. See you soon too. :)
