Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Set aside.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder before slicing and serving.
