Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup Bailey's Irish Cream
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan to form an even crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar while continuing to mix until fully combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in Bailey's Irish Cream and cocoa powder until blended.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in your springform pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow cooling completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving. Top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.
