Easy No Bake Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake

Ingredients

Instructions

Crust:

• Combine the Oreo baking crumbs and melted butter until moistened and crumbly.
• Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate to set.

Filling:

• Combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl, mixing with a hand mixer on medium speed (or in your stand mixer) until smooth.
• Add the Baileys and mix well until incorporated.
• Add the melted white and semi-sweet chocolate in a steady stream while the mixer is running on low speed, until completely incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to be sure everything is incorporated.
• Fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping by hand until the mixture is fluffy and creamy and there are no streaks of white in the batter.
• Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a rubber spatula.
• Refrigerate to set for 6 hours or overnight, or set in the fridge for 2-3 hours and then in the freezer for 2-3 hours before serving. Alternatively, set in the freezer only for 4 hours.

For decorating:

• Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave on 50 percent power for 30-second increments until melted.
• Whisk in the 3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons of heavy cream until a ganache forms.
• Drizzle the ganache over the chilled cheesecake.
• Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, and serve.

Key tips: Use a springform pan for easy removal. Allow sufficient chilling time for the best texture. Fold in whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and airy.

How to Store Easy No Bake Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake

Store the cheesecake in the refrigerator covered with cling film or in an airtight container. It will keep well for up to 3 days. Avoid leaving it out at room temperature for extended periods to maintain its creamy texture and freshness.

Can You Freeze Easy No Bake Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake?

Yes, you can freeze this cheesecake. Wrap it tightly in cling film and then aluminium foil to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Note that the texture may be slightly different but still delicious.

Why Is My No Bake Cheesecake Too Soft?

If your no bake cheesecake is too soft, it may not have set long enough in the fridge or freezer. Ensure you allow at least 6 hours or preferably overnight chilling time. Also, folding in whipped cream gently helps maintain structure. Using full-fat cream cheese and cream also improves firmness.
