How to Make Bailey's Irish Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the Bailey's (or your chosen liqueur).
- Pour batter over the crust.
- Place springform pan in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
- Bake for 75-80 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
