Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake Is a decadent adult dessert of creamy rich bailey’s liquor, cheesecake, chocolate chips and an oreo cookie crust. Serve this at your next family get together. On second thought you better make two. The creamy and light nature of the dish allows for most diners to have a piece after dinner as well as with coffee a while later.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs use whole cookies with filling
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 8 oz packages cream cheese-softened
  • 1⅓ cups sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Baileys Irish cream
  • Hot Fudge Sauce
  • Semisweet Mini Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Mix together Oreo crumbs and melted butter, press the mixture into 9” springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes, set aside to cool.
  • Once the crust is cooled, wrap pan with two layers of aluminum foil and bring the foil up the sides of the pan and make sure it is tight and secure so no water gets in during the baking process!!!!
  • With electric mixer, mix cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth.
  • Add cornstarch and continue to mix until fully incorporated, decrease the speed to low and add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and Baileys.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and place in a roasting pan, fill roasting pan about a quarter of the way with hot water and bake at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes, rotating once halfway through (until the cheesecake is set around the edges and slightly loose in the center)
  • Remove springform pan from the water bath and set on a cooling rack to cool, then remove aluminum foil and refrigerate (at least 5 hour or overnight). When it’s completely cooled run a thin knife around the edge and take off the ring of springform pan.

To garnish:

  • Drizzle wam Fudge Sauce across the top and own the sides of the cheesecake. Take a handful of mini semisweet chocolate chips and drop across the cheesecake and onto the plate.

    You know, cheesecake is not typically one of my favorites, but this looks ah-maz-ing! I’ve had a hankering to make a pie recently, but I may have to change plans and make this instead! Thanks so much for sharing!!

      You do need to give this a chance. The cheesecake is so light. You can eat a bigger piece because of it and the bailey, whooo. Enjoy your weeekend!

      Thank you Clearissa. Cheesecake is my most favorite dessert. I have made it in over 40 different ways with the addition of flavors. I have never met a cheesecake I didn’t love. Enjoy your evening!

    Oh my goodness Marilyn, what a divinely delicious looking cheesecake. We happen to have a bottle of Bailey’s in the fridge and I can’t think of a better way to use it.

    Ooh yummy! I am a big fan of Baileys and would love to make a cheesecake with it one day. I’d have to be careful my husband didn’t try to eat it all before I had chance though as he loves it too.

    That’s a wonderful recipe, I can’t wait to try. I was asked to make a bailey’s Irish cream cheesecake, but the dosent the alcohol evaporate during the time in the oven? Do you have any idea on how to integrate a bailey’s with the chocolate drizzle or whip it up in a topping? I feel as if I hit a creative road block. Thanks in advance.

    It’s so funny that you say to use the whole cookie; once when I couldnt find the chocolate wafers to crush, I bought oreos and took out the middle! I guess I didn’t think until I saw this recipe that the middle would work…

    The cheesecake looks divine!!

    Thanks for bringing this by Throwback Thursday; we’re already looking forward to what you’ll be bringing next week.

    I love a good cheesecake although I have never managed to make a decent one myself. We aren’t huge fans of baileys so I might try to make a caramel version! Thanks for linking up to #YumTum this week!

      Caramel is great. I almost started a blog of just cheesecakes! I have a caramel on here somewhere. The key is to mix a lot of air in the mixture. Oh and I use extra large eggs, instead of the usual medium. Let me know how you make it!

    This looks fantastic! I love a good Baileys dessert, and cheesecake has long been a favorite of mine as well. The hot fudge on top is a nice finishing touch!
