Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake
Baileys Irish Cream Cheesecake is a decadent adult dessert.
Creamy rich bailey’s liquor, cheesecake, chocolate chips and an oreo cookie crust are all what makes this cheesecake perfection..
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.
The oreo cookie crust is easily made in a food processor.
But if you don’t have one you can find pre-made crusts in the baking aisle of your grocery store.
It only takes about 30 minutes to prepare.
I often prepare the cheesecake and cook ahead of time.
This allows the cake to settle and firm up in the fridge.
And you dont have the heat from the oven in the kitchen.
You can also leave the oven open for other foods you may be preparing.
These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 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
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- 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 warm 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.

Looks scrumptious! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!
Thank you Helen! Enjoy your week.
I’m drooling Marilyn lol. Sounds delicious as always 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome Chas. My go to cheesecake but always with a twist. Enjoy!
I clicked because I saw cheesecake (my weakness), but then realized what the Bailey ingredient is. Alas, no Bailey for me lol. It still looks delicious, though! 🙂
I totally understand Allyson. I put out all my Baileys this week. I can’t have and don’t desire alcohol. But my silver lining is, if cooked, the alcohol burns off. But this cheesecake takes a lot of it, so I am not sure what is left. Enjoy your week.
One of my weaknesses…cheesecake. I could ve wrong but I don’t think I’ve seen this at The Cheesecake Factory. Geat recipe.
I hope you haven’t!! LOL. Many of my cheesecakes can be found there as they are all recipes easily found. But this is my favorite and I want it to be unique! LOL. No, never happen. Enjopy!
It has been our pleasure to feature your post on Full Plate Thursday this week. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us and hope you will come back soon!

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.
What a great use for the leftover!! LOL. I am glad you like it Michelle. Enjoy!
This is PERFECT for the party we’re going to tomorrow evening! I’ve printed it and I can’t wait to make it. Thanks for another delicious idea, Marilyn!
I hope it is well received Denise. Let me know how it turned out. Enjoy your week!
Oh, I would love to have a piece of pie right now. It would hit the spot.
I actually need to stop blogging now. I am so hungry and my daily calorie limit has been reached. Have a piece of pie for me! Enjoy.
This looks absolutely divine, Marilyn! I love Bailey’s (have some in the fridge now). Can’t wait to try this.
I wish I did Jillian. If you give the cheeseake a try let me know how it worked out!! Enjoy.
Yummmm – Dessert for dinner this week! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!
Love the party Helen! Enjoy your week!
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.
I have a white container in the back of my fridge marked KALE. No one ever opens it. It is my stash. LOL. Enjoy your week!
That sounds so tasty!!! I love Bailey’s and I love cheesecake, so this is a win win!
Thank you DAnielle. I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy this cheesecake. Enjoy your week!

Thank you for the kind words Gayl! Emjoy your week. #TrekkingThru
Cheesecake – check. Baileys – check. Did you make this just for me Marilyn? Pinning so I can give this a try next time people are coming round for dinner.
Of course I did Julie! Only the best people love Baileys and cheesecake. And the hot fudge sauce is on ME!! Thanks for the pin. Enjoy!
Oh my, this looks absolutely delectable!
Thank you Tamy! Enjoy your week.
i can’t wait to make this it sounds so good.

So I need this in my belly right now! It looks so tasty!!
Thank you Danielle. To me any cheesecake is heaven so I am glad when others like the recipes too. Enjoy your week!
Just when I think cheesecake can’t get any better you go and add Bailey’s to it! YUM! Pinned.
Thank you Joanne for the pin. I am happy it “spoke” to you. Enjoy your week!
Thanks so much for sharing with us at Encouraging Hearts and Home. Just added this to our St. Pat’s menu! Pinned.
Thank you so much Joanne. Let ne know how it turns out for you. Enjoy your day!
This looks delicious, Marilyn! What a great treat for St. Patrick’s Day or any day! Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle. Pinning.
Thank you Beverly. I am glad the cheesecake appeals to you. Enjoy your week!
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.
The alcohol does burn off but the flavours bake into the dish. Just remember the sugar adds so you will want to adjust if that bothers you. You can find a great Bailey’s Fudge Sauce here: http://cupcakesandkalechips.com/baileys-fudge-sauce/
Cheesecake is my favorite, but I’ve never thought of using Bailey’s in it. This looks great! Thanks for sharing this on the Friday Funday Blog Hop #FFBH!
Jamie I can add Bailey’s to anything. I just need an excuse. ???? Have a great week.
Seriously? Bailey’s, cheesecake and chocolate…all in one! So gotta try this! Pinning so that I can come back to it. This is a must have. In fact, I want it now! LOL
You will need to skip dinner. Better make two so the family can try it also! Said she who didn’t share. LOL
Hi Marilyn,
We are so happy to inform you that we featured this at our Monday Cooking and Crafting with J & J. Thanks and we hope to see you again.
Julie xo
Thank you again Julie. I really am honored to be chosen and appreciate the exposure !
This sounds AMAZING! So glad you shared with us at Welcome Home Wednesdays!
I am glad to have found your party Crystal! Thank you for the kind words.
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.
Mollie
The creamy middle just gets absorbed but adds a bit of creaminess to the dry cookie. I found that out with peanut butter oreos when I was too lazy to unscrew them. LOL
That looks amazing! I wish I had a slice right now. Pinned and yummed!
Thanks Carlee for the comment and love!
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 sounds really delicious!
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Thanks Jess. See you next week.
Oh man! Does this look amazing! I can imagine that the addition of the Bailey’s takes this over the top. YUM!
Thanks for coming by to comment Jessica! I will find any excuse to use Bailey’s. This cheesecake texture is more like a mousse than a cheesecake.
Ooh! This looks so good! I love cheesecake and am obsessed with Bailey’s. I bookmarked this recipe so I can try it! popping over from #alittlebitofeverything
Thank you Michelle. I do hope you give ita try. Thnks for stopping from #alittlebitofeverything
You had me at Bailey’s yum – thank you for sharing with Pin worthy Wednesday Marilyn
I know Amberjane! Bailey’s is better than coffee!
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!
Thank you so much! The hot fudge was my treat to Me!
Oh, yeah! This looks heavenly! I’m reading a book set in Ireland right now, and all the food references are making me hungry for Irish fare…I’m pinning! 😉
Being Irish, Martie I have a few coming up. Keep tuned in!
This looks great! Pinned for later 🙂 Thanks for sharing,
You are welcome Jen. Thanks for the Pin love!
Wow! This one looks like a keeper!
It is Lori. The texture is more like a mousse than a heavy cheesecake.
Marilyn, such an awesome dessert. Cheesecake is one of my favorites too, especially chocolate. Thanks for linking with us at our party on Sundays.
I am glad to hear that Linda. This cheesecake is so creamy and light. I know you will love it. I will see you next Sunday.
My mums been in hospital for the past week. Baileys and cheesecake are two of her fabourites, so a special treat hand delivery to her bedside is in order!
What a beautiful gesture, Ingrid! I take this as a huge compliment. Thank you. I wish your mom a speedy recovery. Have a blessed week.

MMm-mmm! This looks absolutely terrible and not at all tasty – says my diet.
Julie, I removed all the calories and carbs so you can sniff it whenever you want!
Oh this looks so yummy Marilyn. My husband loves cheesecake so I had better add this to the list.
This is so light and creamy Sue! I know he will love it!
Looks and sounds yummy. I have a downfall for cheesecake. I’ve been trying to notify you and let you know I nominated you for an award. Just check out my blogger recognition award post to see the detail if you wish to participate.
Thanks Michelle. Cheesecake is my expertise next to Lasagna. Thank you so much for the award! Being nominated is so awesome. I am on vacation and on my phone on data so I will write my post for after Tuesday. Thank you so much!
