Recipe: Irish coffee cheesecake pie

This decadent adult dessert has a touch of Irishness with the whiskey and is best made ahead of time to allow the rich flavours develop

If this beautiful dessert recipe from Catherine Fulvio isn’t the perfect dish for St Patrick’s Day, we don’t know what is! With a delicious biscuit base, it is truly scrumptious.

Ingredients:

For the base

300g digestive biscuits
½ tsp ground ginger
150g butter, melted

For the filling

300g soft cream cheese
100g crème fraiche
50g soft dark brown sugar
3 eggs
1 shot espresso (30ml)
2 tbsp whiskey

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C/fan 150°C/gas 3. To make the base, brush a 23cm loose base tart tin with melted butter.    
  • Place the biscuits in a food processor and crush until fine crumbs form.
  • Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a bowl, add the ginger then pour over the melted butter and mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated.
  • Tip them into the prepared tin and press firmly down into the base and up the sides. Set in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • To make the filling, mix the cream cheese, crème fraiche, dark brown sugar, eggs, espresso and whiskey together in a large jug.
  • Pour the mixture into the biscuit base and smooth evenly. Place in the oven to bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until just set.
  • Carefully remove from the oven and cool completely in the tin before removing from the tin. Serve with a good coffee.  

Tip: Still staying Irish – change the whiskey to 4 tbsp of Irish cream for a really delicious pie.

In honour of the upcoming feast day, Catherine’s latest TV series featuring St Patrick’s Way, airs on 13 and 14 March on RTE 1 at 8pm. It showcases the spectacular 132km journey with Catherine experiencing world class local food and drink along sections of the trail, as she explores the history, spirituality and unique culture that defines Ireland’s pilgrim path.
