Irish Cream Cheesecake
I have to tell you how excited I was to be invited to Joan from
first ever Blog Hop!
When Joan told me that she was having a St. Patrick’s Day Blog Hop, I knew I had to join in!
So, I started looking at recipes and I settled on this recipe from Meals.com.
a little slice of Irish heaven
When I started to get the ingredients out to bake, my kids saw that bag of mini-chocolate chips and flocked to see what I was making!
When they saw the crushed Graham crackers and cream cheese, their eyes lit up when I said
“cheesecake.”
Isn’t it pretty adorned with that shamrock lei?
I told them that this wasn’t just a chocolate chip cheese cake, but one with Irish Cream.
Of course, they are kids and don’t really get the yumminess of Bailey’s!!
I told them to just trust me!
if their mouths weren’t watering yet, they sure did when the can of whipped cream came out!
