Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • ½ cup (120ml) Baileys Irish Cream (for glaze)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line the base with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated.
  3. Press crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
  4. Using an electric mixer, beat softened cream cheese until smooth (2-3 minutes).
  5. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, then pour in 1 cup Baileys and ½ cup sour cream. Mix until smooth.
  6. Beat in eggs one at a time on low speed, blending well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  7. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the top. Tap pan gently to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes at 325°F (160°C) until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
  9. Turn off oven, crack door open, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  10. Remove cheesecake from oven and chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. To make glaze, whisk Baileys, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until thick and glossy (3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in butter until smooth.
  12. Let glaze cool until thick but pourable.
  13. Pour glaze over chilled cheesecake and spread gently. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set glaze before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks. A water bath is optional for a smoother surface. If cracks appear, cover generously with glaze to hide imperfections. Prepare glaze while cheesecake cools to save time.
