A luscious, creamy cheesecake infused with Baileys Irish Cream, offering a smooth, boozy flavor perfect for indulgent moments and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • ½ cup (120ml) Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) Baileys Irish Cream (for glaze)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until crumbly. Press into bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes and cool.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  3. Fold in sour cream, Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla extract, and salt gently until combined. Avoid over-beating.
  4. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth top. Tap pan to release air bubbles.
  5. Bake 50–60 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Do not overbake.
  6. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Prepare glaze by whisking Baileys, sugar, and cornstarch in saucepan over medium heat until thick and glossy (about 5 minutes). Cool slightly.
  8. Spread glaze evenly over chilled cheesecake. Refrigerate 30 minutes to set glaze before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for smooth batter. Avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cracks. Baking at 325°F helps prevent overcooked edges. Optionally use a water bath for extra smooth texture. Cool gradually and refrigerate overnight for best texture. Glaze adds a glossy finish and extra Baileys flavor. Cracks can be minimized by running a knife around pan edge after baking.
