This luxurious cheesecake is flavoured with Irish cream liqueur. Rather than topping it with fruit, we cover it with a decadent sour cream topping after baking, then let it set in the oven as it cools off.

To prepare crust, combine crumbs, 3 tbsp sugar and melted butter. Press mixture into bottom and 1 inch up sides of a greased 9 inch springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Bake until filling is set, about 60 - 65 minutes. Remove from oven; turn off oven.
Spread Sour Cream Topping over cheesecake; return to oven. With door closed, let cheesecake stand for 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately run a knife around sides of pan to loosen. Cool on a rack. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Slice cheesecake with a hot wet knife. Do not freeze.
