Ingredients

Base:

• 2 cup Oreos/ Short Bread Cookies crushed (without the frosting)
• ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
• 2 Tbsp. superfine sugar

Cheesecake:

• 16 oz. cream cheese
• 2 Tbsp. sour cream
• ½ cup condensed milk
• ¾ cup heavy cream (chilled)
• 3 Tbsp. fine granulated sugar or powdered sugar
• 1 pack gelatin
• 2 Tbsp. Amoretti® Irish Cream Compound
• ½ Tbsp. Amoretti® Dark Chocolate Compound

Directions

• Mix the gelatin with the cold water and set aside.
• Take an 8 inch spring form pan and line the bottom with parchment paper and side with acetate sheet (optional).
• Mix together the Oreos, super fine sugar and melted butter. The texture of the mix should resemble wet sand.
• Pack it into the base of the pan and compact with something with a flat base, like a measuring cup or flat-bottomed bottle or bottle cap etc., until the base is smooth, levelled and sealed in. 
• Pop the pan in the fridge until ready to add the cheesecake filling.
• Melt the gelatin mix in the microwave until liquid (don't let it boil) and keep aside.
• In a big bowl, cream the cream cheese, sour cream and condensed milk.
• In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until you achieve stiff peaks.
• Fold it back into the cream cheese mix.
• Separate 1/4 of the mix into another bowl and keep aside.
• Add the gelatin and Irish Cream Compound to the larger portion of the mix and fold to combine. Keep aside.
• Add the Dark Chocolate Compound to the smaller portion of cheesecake mix set aside earlier.
• Get the chilled pan with the set Oreo base from the fridge and add the Irish Cream mix into the pan.
• Dollop the dark chocolate mix at random place on top of the Irish cream mix and swirl the two together using a skewer or pairing knife to create a pretty pattern. Don't overmix the filling to prevent the pattern becoming indiscernible.
• Refrigerate 5-6 hours or overnight.
• Unmold from the pan, slice and enjoy!

Optional:

• Pipe dollops of whipped cream in a pretty pattern all around the edge of the cheesecake.
• Decorate with Amoretti® Chocolate Covered Multi-Color Espresso Coffee Beans.
