List of Ingredients
1 C graham cracker crumbs
1 1/4 C sugar, divided
1/4 C butter, melted
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 C cold water
3 eggs, separated
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons cocoa
2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
1 C whipping cream, whipped
Recipe
Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and butter. Press onto bottom
and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
Soften gelatin in water by stirring over low heat until dissolved. Beat egg
yolks in a separate bowl. Mix in 3/4 cup sugar and beaten egg yolks to
gelatin mixture. Cook stirring constantly, over low heat until slightly
thickened, about 3 minutes.
Beat cream cheese and cocoa, gradually mix in gelatin mixture and Irish
whiskey, mixing until well blended. Chill until thickened, but not set, about
20-30 minutes.
Beat egg whites until foamy, gradually beat in the remaining sugar, beating
until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites and whipped cream into the chilled
cheese mixture and pour over crust. Chill until firm, at least 3 hours.
Garnish with chocolate curls or additional cocoa, if desired.
