Baileys Irish Cream Cheesecake (Print-Friendly Format)

Creamy cheesecake blended with Baileys and set on a graham crust, finished with fresh whipped cream.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 240 g graham cracker crumbs
02 - 115 g unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

03 - 680 g full-fat cream cheese, softened
04 - 200 g granulated sugar
05 - 3 large eggs
06 - 120 ml Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
07 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Topping

08 - 240 ml heavy whipping cream
09 - 15 g powdered sugar

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 165°C. Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened, then press into the bottom of a 23 cm springform pan to form an even layer.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until completely smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Blend in Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.
03 - Pour the filling evenly over the prepared crust. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the centre is nearly set with a slight jiggle.
04 - Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal texture.
05 - Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in your filling.
