Italian Cream Cheese Cake

[torreyy]

Does anyone have a really great MOIST recipe for an Italian Cream Cheese cake? I've found two different ones and I cannot believe how dry they were. Somebody? Anybody?

I'd like to bake one for Easter. Thanks!!!

I have never heard of this before, but it looks delish! I might have to try this myself.
In my searches I've also found what they're calling an IRISH cream cheesecake, which includes adding homemade Irish Cream Liqueur:
Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur

Ingredients:

1 cup half and half or heavy cream

1 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk

1 to 1 2/3 cups Irish whiskey (we use Jameson)

1/2 to 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 to 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

I tried preparing the following cake and trust me it tasted heavenly.

Ingredients:

Crust
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (24 squares)
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Additional chopped pecans, toasted, if desired
Steps

• 1 Heat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with foil, leaving foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan; spray foil with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix crust ingredients. Press in bottom of pan.
  
  
• 2 In large bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Beat on high speed 1 minute or until smooth. Stir in coconut and 1/2 cup pecans. Carefully spread filling over crust.
  
  
• 3 Bake 25 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. Use foil to lift out of pan. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Sprinkle with additional chopped pecans.
