- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping (optional):
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
- Crushed chocolate cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
- In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Assemble the cheesecake:
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until set.
- Serve:
- Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed cookies if desired.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- For a stronger Baileys flavor, you can add an extra 2 tablespoons without affecting the texture.
- Make sure the heavy cream is cold before whipping to achieve stiff peaks easily.
- This cheesecake can be made 1–2 days ahead for convenience.
