I received this Baileys chocolate chip cheesecake recipe over 20 years ago from a local caterer. I have made it several times over the years and everyone who tasted it enjoyed it. Remember, this is not for the diet-conscious!

Yield:
1 (9-inch) cheesecake

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

  • ¼ cup white sugar

Filling:

  • 2 ¼ pounds cream cheese, softened

  • 1 ⅔ cups white sugar

  • 5 large eggs, at room temperature

  • 1 cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys)

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Topping:

  • 1 cup chilled whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Make crust: Mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined. Press over the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

  4. Meanwhile, make filling: Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and beat until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in Irish cream and vanilla; mix until incorporated. Do not overbeat.

  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chocolate chips over cooled crust. Spoon filling over chocolate chips. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, but the center is still springy, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from the pan, about 1 hour.

  7. Make topping: Beat whipping cream in another large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add sugar and coffee granules. Continue beating until whipped cream is firm enough to hold its shape.

  8. Spread topping over cooled cheesecake. Store cheesecake in the refrigerator.
