It works fairly nicely to scale back the quantity of liquid you’re operating with, whereas piling up the flavor. In this case, we cook dinner one and a half cups of Guinness down to a half cup. Lots of Guinness flavor!

The different good factor about cooking the Guinness down is that it removes the “bubbliness” of the Guinness, that could undoubtedly screw up the chemistry of a baked good! Rather than ending up with a cheesecake that’s additional like a mousse, this cheesecake remains thick and creamy and like that vintage cheesecake texture that we all realize and love.

The decreased Guinness ought to be cooled after which delivered to the cheesecake filling.

Some Baileys and heavy whipping cream are heated till simply boiling, then poured over white chocolate. Whisk it till it’s good and delicate and for those who have to warmth it somewhat of additional to get it there, you undoubtedly can.

I desire to let my ganache cool somewhat earlier than I upload it to the cheesecake. This ensures that because it spreads out to the rims of the cheesecake, it’s thick sufficient now not to drip over the sides. However, for those who desire to move for that look, you solely could.
