Ingredients

  • For the Crust

  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ½ cup Bailey’s Irish cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Optional Topping

  • Whipped cream

  • Chocolate shavings

  • Cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  • In a bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.

  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.

  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and allow it to cool.

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

  • Add the sugar and continue mixing until fully combined.

  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  • Add sour cream, Bailey’s Irish cream, vanilla extract, flour, and heavy cream. Mix until the batter is smooth.

  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

  • Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water to create a water bath.

  • Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.

  • Remove the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully chilled.

  • Before serving, top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or cocoa powder if desired.

Notes

A water bath helps prevent cracks and ensures even baking.Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest cheesecake texture.Do not overmix the batter once the eggs are added to avoid incorporating too much air.For clean slices, dip a knife in warm water and wipe between cuts.
