Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to set.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
- Pour filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Notes
- To store: Keep the cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Variations: Add a swirl of caramel or chocolate syrup, or use chocolate wafer crumbs for a different crust.
- Non-alcoholic option: Replace Baileys with flavored coffee syrup or chocolate milk.
