I made this cheesecake per recipe and it was very, very wet, even after a longer baking time. Any suggestions? I reviewed the recipe and am sure I followed all the steps.

Can this cheesecake be made without liquor? I would love to make it but some do not drink liquor.

Has anybody made this plain without the chocolate chips actually being added to the cake? How did it turn out?

I fall in love with this cake! Is it decadent? Sure it is! Can it fail? Never! I couldn't stop eating. It was sooo good and with every bite it get better and better. The crust is really easy to make as well as the filling is. First I thought it might be to much Bailey's in it, but do NOT reduce the amount. While the cake was in the oven a mouthwatering smell was in the air. I placed it in the fridge for one day. For the topping I left out the butter and replaced it by 1 teaspoon sugar to make it a coffee flavored whipped cream. I would suggest to make the topping before serving and to decorate the cake with it just before serving. I used a more bitter-flavored chocolate which adds a nice contrast to the sweetness of the cake. The cake itself was firm but with a delicate moisture. The chcocolate chips add a crunchy moment and were sweet with some bitter cacao notes. Wonderful. I could spend hours and hours on describing this wonderful and decadent cheese cake, but a description is a very weak substitute for an overhelming enjoyment of tasting this cake. Try it and you will fall in love with it, too. There is no rating, which can do this recipe justice! Thanks for this masterpiece.

This was my first attempt at a cheesecake and it was a complete success! I made it for a St. Patrick's day dinner with the family and in-laws and everyone RAVED over it. I used low-fat cream cheese and made vanilla whipped cream instead of the recommended topping. I will definitely be making this again!

This is a terrific cake. I substituted cinnamon and regular graham crackers for the crust because I dislike oreos. I also used nechtafel cream cheese. It was great. Though I did have to cook it 15 min. longer to brown due to bath and foil. The cake tastes better after 2-3 days of sitting for flavor

Wonderful! I wrapped the bottom of my spring-form in aluminum foil and placed it in a water bath. It took 1 1/2 hours to bake and turned out fabulously. After reading other reviews, I also used sugar and not butter for the whipped topping. I only had graham cracker crumbs so I used those instead of oreo. still wonderful

Having just saved this recipe, I am going to make it, but not adding the chips. Instead, I will melt the chips and then add them. Chocolate is supposed to have binding ability, but probably not in the form of chips. As is, the recipe sounds better than it looks. A chocolate cheesecake will look better than an off-white one with chips.

Used Mary Hite Cream Burbon instead of Bailey's for a Southern twist. Will try topping it with candies pecan pieces next time too!

This cheesecake is amazing! I made as directed except instead of using the Bailey Irish Cream I used the Irish creme liquid creamer. (I didn't want to spend the money on the liquor) It turned out so rich and creamy! For the topping I think maybe the butter may be a mistake and is meant to be sugar, because the two tablespoons of sugar was the perfect amount in this I thought. Thanks for posting! :)

I made this for my boyfriend (who didn't think I could bake) for Christmas Day. He hasn't stopped talking about how great it was. A delicious recipe--thanks Leslie. Only change I made was putting chopped peanut butter cups over the whipped cream instead of the coffee powder mixture(at his request). Will make again for sure.

i made this cake for our Christmas potluck at work. Everyone loved it. I did not have to take any back home. I did take the advise of a few other people and added the tsp of sugar. I also substituted hot chocolate powder for the coffer in the cream topping. It was EXCELLENT!!!!!! My coworkers said this will be the staple for every Christmas potluck!!
