Instructions

In a bowl, combine crushed digestive biscuits, melted butter, and cocoa powder. Mix well and press firmly into the base of a 7-inch deep springform tin. Chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with icing sugar until smooth but not overmixed.
Add the double cream and Baileys Irish Cream, whisking until thick and the mixture holds its shape.
Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the chilled base and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until set.
Once set, melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Cool slightly before drizzling over the cheesecake.
Decorate with Baileys truffles, chocolates, or sprinkles. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Use Oreos or chocolate cookies for an extra chocolatey base.

Add more Baileys for a stronger flavor or substitute coffee syrup for a non-alcoholic version.

Full-fat cream cheese ensures the cheesecake sets properly.

Freeze undecorated cheesecake for up to 1 month; thaw overnight before topping.

Dark or white chocolate can be used for the topping depending on taste.
