Baileys Cheesecake recipe

Recently a very close family member has had to use Sunrise Senior Living and we have been incredibly impressed with their facilities and their care. They have produced a series of their favourite recipes and asked if I would like to try one and share it with you all on the site. They have produced a series of recipes which are nutritious and tasty and are great for everyone not just the elderly. One of my favourites from their list was the Baileys Cheesecake.

We loved the cheesecake although after a little nibble the boys turned their noses up at it but between us and friends it had disappeared within minutes! It’s a great rich and creamy dessert to whisk up and have in the fridge and personally taste great in the hot summery afternoons with friends round and a lazy in the garden!
