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