OH MY GOODNESS, DELICIOUS! I would give this 10 stars if I could. This is the easiest cheesecake I have ever made and so delicious. Very light and fluffy for a cheesecake and the berries complimented it perfectly. Thank you for this recipe which was a perfect end to a St. Patty's Day for my husband and I.

totally to die for! i sure impressed my friends with this one, my neighbors husband just kept coming back for 1 little sliver :). very creamy with a slight irish cream flavor, this baked up great.i let it cool for a bit in the oven to avoid cracking. i didn't serve this with berries because they are not in season, but it was delicious as is.
