Baileys Cheesecake
I’ve personally lost track of how many No Bake Cheesecakes we’ve made for this site. The format is just so easy to tweak with and change up to set up all sorts of amazing flavor combinations! You can make them fruity, creamy, sweet, chocolatey- the possibilities are endless. Today, I’ve got a special no bake recipe ready: a Baileys Cheesecake that’s perfect for dessert this St. Patrick’s Day!
Without the Baileys, this recipe would make a great No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake. However, those touches of Irish Cream really take this dessert dish to the next level! If you’ve ever cooked with Baileys- we’ve got a few recipes further down if you’d like to try- you know that it can bring some wonderful flavors to a recipe. This No Bake Irish Cream Cheesecake is no exception!
A touch of Baileys in the Oreo crust gives a bit of creaminess. The Baileys in the cheesecake filling combines perfectly with the sweet chocolate. Finally, we couldn’t help but add a bit of Baileys to our chocolate ganache dressing. It helps tie the dish together: you can find a bit of that Baileys flavor in everything! It’s a darn shame the kiddos can’t get in on this boozy dessert- it really is something special.
Like all of our other no bakes, you’re going to love how easy this Baileys No Bake Cheesecake is to make. It’s going to feel like your cheating, getting a dessert so delicious with so little hands-on time with the dish! You just need a bit of patience: it’ll all be worth it, though, when you finally pull your finished cheesecake from the freezer and grab yourself a slice. This is a tasty dessert we know you all are going to love!

How to make our No Bake Baileys Cheesecake
-
Blitz together your crust ingredients in a food processor before pressing into a greased springform pan.
-
Beat together your cream cheese filling before folding it with some whipped cream and adding it to the pan.
-
Let the cheesecake freeze for a few hours before topping it with a chocolate ganache drizzle.
Add your crust ingredients to a food processor and process until crushed and well-mixed. Press the crust mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a greased springform pan (I used a 9 inch). Set that in the freezer to set for about half-an-hour- the perfect amount of time to whip up a filling! Start the filling by beating together some cream cheese and sugar.
Once that reaches a consistent, fluffy texture, add in some of our Baileys. Beat that in until fully incorporated.
Now we need to melt some chocolate. The best way to do this is to microwave and stir the chocolate in 1-minute bursts. Repeat until melted and smooth before adding to the cream cheese mixture and beating until fully mixed.
To give our filling a bit more volume, we’re going to fold it with some whipped cream. First, beat your whipping cream until it’s… well… whipped-stiff peaks!
Once that’s whipped, add your cream cheese mixture to the bowl with the cream and start gently folding the two together. Try your hardest to not deflate that whipped cream! Once those are mixed, you can pour the filling into our set crust from earlier and return it to the freezer for 3-4 hours.
When our cheesecake is getting close to being done in the freezer, we can prepare our ganache topping. To do that, heat some heavy cream in the microwave or on the stovetop until very hot but not boiling. Add in your chocolate chips and stir until melted- the heat from the cream should be enough to melt it. Add in a bit of Baileys, let the mixture cool until just warm and still runny before using it to top your cheesecake. Cut off a slice, plate, and enjoy!
