Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 1/4 pounds cream cheese, softened
  • 1 2/3 cups white sugar
  • 5 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys®)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chilled whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). This will ensure that the ideal temperature is achieved for baking.
2
Meanwhile, prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium-sized bowl until they are perfectly blended. Then, press the mixture firmly over the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
3
Next, bake the crust in the preheated oven until it is set and firm to the touch, approximately 7 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool down before proceeding.
4
While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling by beating cream cheese in a large bowl using an electric mixer until it reaches a smooth consistency. Add sugar to the mixture and beat until well incorporated.
5
Continue by adding eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then, pour in Irish cream and vanilla extract; mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
6
Don't overbeat the mixture, as this can result in an unpleasant texture. Now, sprinkle 1/2 cup of chocolate chips over the cooled crust.
7
Spoon the filling over the chocolate chips, followed by an additional 1/2 cup of chocolate chips on top.
8
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven until it is puffed and golden brown, but still slightly springy in the center, approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.
9
Once the cheesecake is baked, let it cool completely before removing it from the pan. This process should take about 1 hour.
10
In a separate large bowl, beat whipping cream using an electric mixer until it forms soft peaks. Add sugar and coffee granules to the mixture, then continue beating until the whipped cream is firm enough to hold its shape.
11
Spread the topping over the cooled cheesecake, and store it in the refrigerator for later consumption.
