Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup Oreo crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • Pinch of salt

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup Baileys or Irish cream
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)

Whipped Topping

  • ⅔ cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Baileys or Irish cream

Optional

  • Chocolate sauce for decorating

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the cheesecakes.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a bowl, combine Oreo crumbs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Press this mixture evenly into the base of a springform pan to form the crust.
  3. Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add salt and Baileys Irish Cream and mix well to incorporate.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully combined before adding the next. Pour the resulting batter over the prepared Oreo crust in the pan.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when moved.
  6. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
  7. Prepare Whipped Topping: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and Baileys Irish Cream until stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy and flavorful topping.
  8. Serve: Top the chilled mini cheesecakes with the whipped Baileys cream and optionally drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth, lump-free cheesecake batter.
  • Chilling the cheesecake thoroughly improves texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute Baileys with any Irish cream liqueur or a non-alcoholic vanilla cream for a milder flavor.
  • Ensure not to overbake; the center should still jiggle slightly for a perfect creamy texture.
  • For individual servings, bake the batter in cupcake liners or mini tart pans instead of a large springform pan.
