| 1 | Unflavored gelatin |
| 1/2 | Water |
| 1 | Sugar |

Instructions:
-
Begin by combining the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and margarine in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
-
Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even crust layer.
-
In a separate bowl, soften the gelatin in water. Stir over low heat until completely dissolved.
-
Once dissolved, blend in 3/4 cup of sugar and the beaten egg yolks. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and cocoa. Use an electric mixer set to medium speed to blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add the gelatin mixture and bourbon to the cream cheese mixture, continuing to mix until well blended.
-
Allow the mixture to chill until it thickens slightly, but not completely set.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg whites and whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
-
Pour the combined mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan, ensuring it spreads evenly.
-
Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and allow it to chill until firm.
-
Once chilled and set, slice and serve your delicious Irish Cream Cheesecake to enjoy its heavenly flavors!

Recipe Notes:
- For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning.
- Be careful not to overmix the egg whites, as this could deflate them and affect the texture of the cheesecake.
- You can garnish the cheesecake with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of additional Irish cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
