Baileys Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
Want to have your cake and eat it too?
This Baileys Cake with Espresso Cream Topping is just the cake you are looking for.
Made with cream cheese and baileys the cake cant help but satisfy.
The espresso topping made with heavy cream is a combination any cake lover will love.
And don’t forget the chocolate chips hidden inside.
I was first introduced to this recipe about ten years ago.
I was intimidated by the complexity, but my friend that gave me this recipe assured me I could pull this off.
These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:
Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 6 Tbs butter
- 1/4 tsp non-flavored gelatin
Filling:
- 4 1/2 bricks room temp cream cheese
- 1 2/3 cup sugar
- 5 lg eggs room temp
- 1 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 1 Tbs vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet Choc chips
Coffee Cream:
- 1/2 pint chilled whipping cream
- 2 Tbs sugar
- 1 tsp instant coffee powder
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
For Crust:
- Preheat oven to 325. Coat 9 inch spring form pan with nonstick vegetable
- Oil spray. Wrap outside of pan with a double of aluminum foil. In a bowl
- combine crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press mixture into bottom and up sides of pan. Bake until light brown, about 7 minutes. Maintain oven temp at 325 F
- Sprinkle Choc chips over crust or put in batter
For Filling:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smoothe. Gradually mix in sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in Baileys and vanilla. Spoon filling into
- Prepared crust. Bake until puffed and springy in center and golden brown, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Cool completely before removing springform.
Note:
- For best results bake the cheesecake in a Bain Marie ( a water bath).
- Place the wrapped springform in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with hot water
- until the level reaches 3/4 of the way up the side of the springform pan. This will
- keep the cheesecake moist and will help prevent the cake from falling in
- the center.
For Cream:
- Beat cream, sugar, and coffee powder until peaks form. Spread mixture over cooled cake. Garnish cheesecake with chocolate curls.
I figured I didn’t have anything to lose, and it had to taste good.
If all else failed I would still have the Bailey’s.
So I gave it a try and it was heaven!
My very first cheesecake!
Little did I know what it would lead to.

Thank you Suzan. This Bailey’s Chocolate Chip Cheesecake really is! Enjoy.
You never state about the unflavored gelatin. Perhaps a review and edit of the recipe! Cream cheese is expensive; don’t need a flop!
You know. I saw that. I need to add it. It goes in the crust. Thanks for reminding me to add it to the instructions!! When I create these as I make it I tend to miss things like that! This won’t flop. It is the first cheesecake I ever made so it cant be too hard!! Thanks again!

Thank you Tanya! This cheesecake is so good on so many levels, you will love it. Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment!
wow marilyn this looks delicious! cheesecake is one of my favourite desserts!!
This one is a bit heavier, like New York style, Charlotte. Most of my cheesecakes lean to a creamier texture. You won ‘t need to make two with this one!
I think I have died and gone to heaven! One of my favorite pastimes is making cheesecake. I love the delicate time it takes and I always, always use a water bath. I love experimenting with different ones and adding some ingredients from one to another. Of course eating them is another story so I try and make them to share with friends or at work meetings. This is the one I can’t stop thinking about ever since you mentioned it. It is on my Easter menu. Thank you, thank you for linking it today. Pinning for sure!!
Michelle, sweet friend, this comment made my day! Enjoy this cheesecake. This one is my signature cheesecake.
Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I typically never try cheesecakes!
Thank you Emma for taking a look and leaving such a nice comment! Have a good week.
