Indulgent and velvety mini cheesecakes infused with Baileys Irish Cream, perfect for parties and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional)
  • Extra Baileys drizzle (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners or silicone liners.
  2. In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin cups and press down firmly to create a crust. Bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Continue to beat until the mixture is silky smooth and without lumps.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled crusts, filling each cup almost to the top.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The centers should be slightly wobbly but mostly set. Avoid overbaking to keep the texture creamy.
  7. Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the tin. Once cool, transfer them to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of Baileys for extra flair.

Notes

[‘Cheesecakes need time to set properly, so resist the temptation to dig in too soon.’, ‘Make sure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.’, ‘Use the back of a spoon or a small glass to press the crust down evenly for a solid base.’, ‘Beating the filling too much can introduce air bubbles, causing the cheesecakes to crack.’, ‘For extra insurance against cracks, place a pan of hot water on the oven rack below the muffin tin.’]
