Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) chocolate cookie crumbs (e.g., Oreos, without filling)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream (for whipped cream)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, for garnish
- Chocolate decorations (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press into the bottom of each cup to form a crust and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, then mix in Baileys, vanilla extract, and flour until fully combined.
- Spoon cheesecake mixture over the crusts, filling about ¾ full. Smooth tops.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until centers are slightly jiggly. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon Baileys until soft peaks form.
- Pipe or spoon whipped cream over chilled cheesecakes.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or optional decorations. Serve cold and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
- Don’t overbake — look for a slight jiggle in the center.
- Chill beaters and bowl before whipping cream for better volume.
- Add whipped topping just before serving for peak freshness.
