Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line a 20cm loose-bottomed or springform tin with baking parchment and stand it on a baking sheet. Melt the butter and stir in the biscuit crumbs. Press the mix into the base of the tin, then bake for 10 mins. Remove from the oven and raise the temperature to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9.
- For the filling, beat the soft cheese just until smooth with an electric hand mixer on low speed. Gradually add the sugar, also on a low speed, then the cornflour without overbeating. Scrape the sides of the bowl. Slowly whisk in the lemon zest and juice, the vanilla, then the eggs. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then finally whiskin the fromage frais. The mixture should be smooth and quite runny.
- Pour the filling over the crumb base. Jiggle the tin to level the mix and squash surface bubbles with the back of a teaspoon. Bake for 10 mins, then lower the heat to 110C/fan 90C/gas ¼. Bake another 25 mins and, if you are using an electric oven, leave the oven door slightly ajar for the first 3 mins. After the 25 mins, shake the tin and there should be a wobble in the centre of the filling. If left until firmer it is more likely to crack later. Turn off the oven, keep the door closed and leave the cake in for 2 hrs. Open the door, loosen the top edges of the cake with a round bladed knife, then leave in the oven to cool gently for another 1-1½ hrs.
- Meanwhile, put the sugar for the topping in a small pan with 3 tbsp water. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then let it bubble for 1-2 mins to make a thin syrup. Tip in the blueberries, gently stir and cook for about 1 min, just to slightly burst the fruit and release the purple juices. Stir in the lime zest, then leave to cool.
- Spread the fromage frais over the top of the cooled cheesecake. Cover with foil and chill for at least 4 hrs (or overnight). Remove from the fridge 1 hr before serving, loosen the sides of the cheesecake completely, remove from the tin, then slide onto a plate, peeling off the paper as you do. Slice with a sharp knife and serve each wedge topped with a spoonful of syrupy blueberries.

IRISH CREAM CHEESECAKE
This is a wonderfully, creamy cheesecake that I make for friends and family. Folks like it so well that a single cheesecake raised $32.00 at a fundraiser/auction for my children's school. I have made this successfully with low-fat cream cheese and sour cream. (Many of you have had problems with cracks in the top of the cheesecake and have given wonderful instructions as to how to avoid this. I have included your info in the instructions and really appreciate you making this recipe even better - Thanks :)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- (I've added this step based on the comments of many of you have tried this recipe - thanks for you input). Place a baking pan of water on the lower rack of the oven to help prevent cracking while baking.
- Combine the vanilla wafer crumbs and butter in a small mixing bowl.
- Press crumb mixture into the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Hold this pan in the freezer until ready to fill.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the geletin; mix well at low speed.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream, Irish Cream and vanilla.
- Spoon the mixture over the crust.
- Bake at 300 for one hour and fifteen minutes.
- DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR!
- Turn off oven, KEEP THE OVEN DOOR CLOSED.
- Allow the cheesecake to remain in the oven for an additional one hour and fifteen minutes.
- DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR DURING THIS TIME!
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and carefully remove the springform pan.
- Place on a decorative plate and serve at room temperature or chilled.
- May garnish with grated semi-sweet chocolate.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. For the cheesecake, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream, and for the ganache, use good-quality chocolate and heavy cream.
- Make sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start making the cheesecake. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps.
- When mixing the cheesecake batter, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking and will also help it cook evenly.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly and develop its full flavor.
- When making the ganache, be sure to use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat. This will help the ganache to set properly.
- If you don't have time to make the ganache, you can use whipped cream instead.
Conclusion:
This Irish Cream Cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cheesecake is creamy and smooth, with a rich Irish cream flavor. The ganache is rich and chocolatey, and it perfectly complements the cheesecake. This cheesecake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
