Notes
When whipping cream, it whips up better if it's chilled. It also helps to whip it in a chilled mixing bowl.
Allow the gelatin to absorb the cold water and swell in size before adding the hot water. The softened gelatin should then dissolve completely after the hot water is mixed in.
2 tablespoons whiskey and 6 tablespoons heavy cream can be used in place of the half cup of Irish cream.
The cheesecake should keep for at least 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, it will last for at least 3 months in the freezer.
