BAILEYS AND WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

This came originally from "Simply Splendid Suppers" by John Tovey. I have changed the base a bit and don't bake it. It came out in 1995, so we have been eating this (once a year) for 10 years, that's a bit scary! The ingredients are rich, but it is actually very light to eat. Not sure how that works, but there you go. If you have any left a spoonful is yummy as a mid morning pick me up.
