Description

These Boozy Baileys Mini Cheesecakes are rich, creamy, and infused with the smooth, velvety flavor of Baileys Irish Cream. Perfect for parties or holiday gatherings, they sit on a buttery cookie crust and are topped with whipped cream for an indulgent, bite-sized treat with a boozy twist!

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or crushed chocolate cookies)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • Whipped cream
  • Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into each muffin liner. Press down firmly to create an even layer.
  4. Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  7. Mix in the sour cream, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  8. Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
  10. Cool the cheesecakes in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before serving.
  12. Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent finish.

Notes

  • You can swap Baileys with other Irish cream liqueurs or flavored cream liqueurs for variety.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free cookies for the crust.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
