It works fairly nicely to scale back the quantity of liquid you’re operating with, whereas piling up the flavor. In this case, we cook dinner one and a half cups of Guinness down to a half cup. Lots of Guinness flavor!

The different good factor about cooking the Guinness down is that it removes the “bubbliness” of the Guinness, that could undoubtedly screw up the chemistry of a baked good! Rather than ending up with a cheesecake that’s additional like a mousse, this cheesecake remains thick and creamy and like that vintage cheesecake texture that we all realize and love.

The decreased Guinness ought to be cooled after which delivered to the cheesecake filling. The filling is made along with your ordinary suspects – cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, eggs, somewhat of bit of vanilla and of course, chocolate!

The additional steps are solely value it for a cheesecake that doesn’t crack, remains tremendous creamy, doesn’t fall within the core when it cools and doesn’t brown too so a lot round the edges.

And if you’re involved about leaking pans, I actually have a huge academic to present you how I desire to steer clear of my water bath from leaking. Works each one time!

BAILEYS WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
Once the cheesecake is baked and cooled, it’s topped with a pretty Baileys white chocolate ganache. Some Baileys and heavy whipping cream are heated till simply boiling, then poured over white chocolate. Whisk it till it’s good and delicate and for those who have to warmth it somewhat of additional to get it there, you undoubtedly can.

I desire to let my ganache cool somewhat earlier than I upload it to the cheesecake. This ensures that because it spreads out to the rims of the cheesecake, it’s thick sufficient now not to drip over the sides. However, for those who desire to move for that look, you solely could.
