  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

How to Make Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing and flouring it. Alternatively, line the bottom with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan.
  8. Place the 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 for even baking).
  9. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until the center is just set. A slight jiggle is okay.
  10. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set properly.
  13. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan before serving. Garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
