Irish Cream Chocolate Cheesecake
If you like chocolate and Irish cream, like Baileys, you'll love this chocolate cheesecake. It's the best recipe with a creamy and decadent taste.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup butter
- 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup Irish cream liqueur
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 2In a large bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and 1/3 cup cocoa. Add melted butter and stir until well mixed. Pat into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; set aside.
- 3Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- 4In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, white sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa, and flour. Beat at medium speed until well blended and smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in sour cream and Irish cream liqueur; mixing on low speed. Pour filling over baked crust.
- 5Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), and continue baking for 60 minutes.
- 6With a knife, loosen the cake from the rim of the pan. Let cool, then remove the rim of the pan. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving. If your cake cracks, a helpful tip is to dampen a spatula and smooth the top, then sprinkle with some chocolate wafer crumbs.
