Method 1 of 1: Tips
- Try different types of Baileys to find the one you prefer.
- You can try making small changes using different ingredients. For example, replace the ricotta with pureed pumpkin, or add some typical pumpkin pie spices, such as cloves, cinnamon or allspice: combining these spices with the flavor of Baileys, you will get a spectacular result.
- Use the mint Baileys, then add a few drops of red food coloring to the mixture after pouring it into the mold: this way, you will get a streaked effect similar to sugar candies!
- Add ingredients and toppings to enhance the flavor of your cheesecake.
