NON-BAKED BAILEY'S CHEESECAKE

Another cheesecake - non-bake Bailey's cheesecake!  A friend gave me a bottle of Baileys and can't wait to try this cheesecake.  Its so smooth and good that I made two in a afternoon.  This was given away as a gift and the second one deposited in our tummies ...... no time to take photos of the cross-sections! :(
