The BEST Baileys Cheesecake  (No Water Bath)

richanddelish.com

This baileys cheesecake is made with an oreo crust, creamy, boozy cheesecake filling that is full of baileys flavor, topped with baileys chocolate ganache and whipped cream.

Into a small to medium mixing bowl, add the Oreos, granulated sugar, and melted butter.

Mix with a spoon until the crumbs are coated with butter.

Transfer the crumbs into a prepared 9-inch cake pan, pressing evenly and firmly into the pan. Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 8 minutes.

In a big mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, kosher salt, espresso powder, and vanilla extract, and mix with an electric hand mixer until the cream cheese is creamy.

Add the eggs to the cream cheese batter along with the Irish cream, and mix until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust, and release air bubbles by gently tapping the pan onto a flat surface.

Bake the cheesecake in a 140c (280f) preheated oven for about an hour or until the edges of the cheesecake are set, but the middle is a bit jiggly.

Pour the chocolate ganache on top of the cheesecake and smooth it out with an offset spatula.

Pipe the whipped cream with a star tip around the edges of the cheesecake and top with chocolate shavings.
