Cheeky Chocolate Cheesecake

Lately my favorite Youtube channel is Sorted Food.  It is a group of British 20-Somethings who get together and make simple and interesting recipes.  The guys were all University friends, and one of them is a chef.  The chef picks the recipe and keeps the other guys on task as they prepare the recipes.  They are funny and thoughtful, the videos are short and to the point, and the recipes are interesting and multicultural.

One of my favorite recipes is the Cheeky Chocolate Cheesecake.  It is a simple refrigerator cheesecake made with a lot of chocolate and Bailey's Irish Cream.  I converted the recipe from milliliters and grams to cups, teaspoons, and tablespoons and took a few liberties with the recipe.  Also I don't know what Maltesers are, so I used Whoppers.

Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 oz milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup Whoppers, roughly chopped

For the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.  Press into a 9" pie pan.

For the filling: Whip cream cheese with sugar until fluffy, while the mixer is still on low slowly pour in Bailey's and vanilla until combined.  Melt the chocolate chips with the butter and then fold into the cream cheese mixture.  Pour into the prepared crust and top with Whoppers.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
