Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, no filling)
  • ¼ cup melted butter

For the filling:

  • 3 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • ½ cup melted semi-sweet chocolate (cooled)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the ganache topping (optional but recommended):

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream

How to Make Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake

Step 1: Prepare the crust

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Mix chocolate crumbs and melted butter.
  • Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let cool.

Step 2: Make the filling

  • Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  • Mix in sour cream, Baileys, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt.
  • Fold in melted chocolate.

Step 3: Bake the cheesecake

  • Pour filling over crust.
  • Wrap pan in foil and place in a water bath (optional for even baking).
  • Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until center is just set.
  • Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

Step 4: Chill and top

  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
  • For ganache, heat cream until steaming. Pour over chocolate, wait 2 minutes, stir until smooth. Add Baileys and mix again.
  • Pour over chilled cheesecake and spread evenly.

Tips for Perfect Cheesecake

  • Room temperature ingredients = smooth batter
  • Don’t overmix—too much air causes cracks
  • A water bath prevents over-baking and cracking
  • Chill overnight for best texture and flavor

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream or chocolate shavings
  • Pair with a glass of Baileys on ice or hot coffee

Make-Ahead & Storage

  • Fridge: Store covered for up to 5 days
  • Freezer: Freeze slices for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in fridge
  • Make ahead: Best made the day before for chilling

FAQs

Can I use a different brand of Irish cream?
Yes—Carolans, Kerrygold, or homemade Irish cream all work.

Can I make this without alcohol?
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Baileys-flavored coffee creamer.

Does this cheesecake taste strongly of Baileys?
It has a subtle but noticeable Baileys flavor that balances beautifully with the chocolate.
