Product Information

Make sure that all of your ingredients are in good condition and this meal is prepared safely and hygienically. Yes, this Baileys chocolate cheesecake contains no meat, fish or poultry. So it’s a perfect treat for a vegetarian! This simple, delicious Baileys cheesecake recipe wouldn't exist without Kara aka Chelsea Mamma, who originally taught me her version almost a decade ago! Since then, it's evolved to the beautiful cheesecake thousands of you have made and it will always be a firm favourite in my book.

It’s important to remember, a Use By date is used to mark when food becomes unsafe to consume and it should never be exceeded. Whereas a Best Before End date is more like a rough guide for when the food or drink will taste it’s best. So Baileys can be safely consumed beyond the Best Before date as long as it has been stored correctly and there are no signs of spoilage. It’s the most wonderful timeee of the yearrrrr. And I am completely and utterly full to the brim of chocolate and Baileys. So, why not make that even better, by adding in a Baileys chocolate tart?! OH HELLO!

Reviews

The best thing about this Baileys chocolate cheesecake is that it’s a no bake recipe! So all you need to do is put the ingredients together and let the cheesecake set. This means this recipe should be a super easy one. Cheesecake is much older than you might think! Some historians believe that the ancient Greeks invented cheesecake over 4000 years ago. In the 5th century a Greek doctor even wrote a book on “the art of making cheesecake”. However, this Baileys chocolate cheesecake would probably be unrecognizable to the ancient Greeks, because their version was a sort of sweetened cheese patty made with honey. It’s probably not the best idea to make it any further in advance than two days, as the biscuit base might become soggy or a skin could develop on the cheesecake. Can a no-bake cheesecake be left out of the fridge? Will the cheesecake melt? For the filling, I wanted it to be extremely luxurious and indulgent and rich. It’s designed to be a showstopper of a dessert, and this seemed the only way! I followed a similar idea to my Billionaires Tart, but obviously adapted it to be Baileys themed, and without the caramel!

sugar: you’ll use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar. light brown sugar or dark brown sugar may be used. This cheesecake contains alcohol and as it isn’t cooked, the alcohol content will remain in the cheesecake, so according to medical advice it isn’t suitable for someone who is pregnant. A Mummy Too does not offer medical advice. Please seek help from a medical professional if you need further information or have any concerns. What goes well with Baileys chocolate cheesecake? You’ll also need a stand mixer or electric hand mixer for this recipe! Unfortunately, the cookie dough cannot be made without some kind of electric mixer, as the butter and sugar MUST be beaten at a high speed. If your ingredient quantities are correct and your fridge is suitably chilled the most common answer is ‘because it hasn’t been long enough’. Give it several more hours in the fridge, and preferably overnight, and it should set.While you wait, prepare the chocolate drizzle by melting six truffles with a splash of water in a bowl over a pan of hot water until you have a smooth sauce. Baileys will be the most prominent flavour in this cheesecake, so if you want to change the main flavour of the cheesecake you could swap out the Baileys. If you use another liqueur or flavouring try to use something cream based, as for example, a coffee based liqueur might cause the cream cheese to split. From there, all you'll need to do is spoon the mix into your tin and then drum you fingers impatiently while it chills overnight. The next day, dust with cocoa and serve! It tastes INCREDIBLE and is 100% worth the wait. As this cheesecake contains dairy it should be refrigerated as soon as it’s been made and eaten as soon as it’s out of the fridge. However, you might need to add the same amount of milk to compensate for the loss of liquid, and bear in mind that the cheesecake might not be as sweet without the Baileys.

Some unofficial sources say that the 24-month shelf life applies even if your bottle has been opened, and whether or not it has been kept in the fridge. However, there’s no advice on this from Baileys at the time of writing (December 2021). If you get lost along the way I’ve got some clear pictures that go with each step of the recipe, so you can see how your cheesecake should look as it comes together. Will I need any special equipment to make Baileys chocolate cheesecake?

There are plenty of great vegan alternatives for cream, cream cheese and chocolate widely available in many supermarkets, plus Baileys have their own plant-based version called Baileys Almande. So it should be quite easy to adapt this recipe into a vegan version. Baileys has such a long shelf life because the alcohol in the whiskey acts as a preservative to keep the fresh cream from spoiling. Most bottles of Baileys come with a Best Before date of around 24 months from the production date. So you’ll usually have at least a year when you buy a bottle. If your cheesecake is lumpy, it’s most likely because the cream cheese wasn’t beaten enough to loosen it properly. This can happen if your cream cheese is very cold when you beat it. So it’s always best to let your cream cheese sit for a few minutes when it comes out of the fridge as this will make it easier to beat. Possibly, but you’ll run the risk of freezing the outside of the cheesecake if it’s in there for several hours, which will negatively affect the texture. A food processor would probably be too powerful for mixing your cream cheese and could cause your cheesecake topping to split, so it’s not suitable for this recipe. How can I make sure my Baileys chocolate cheesecake turns out perfectly?

If you used a fixed bottom cake tin, rather than springform tin, you will be in trouble though! Your best bet is to cut it into slices inside the tin and try to carefully lift it out with a spatula a slice at a time. Can this Baileys chocolate cheesecake be made in advance? Spoon the mixture on top of biscuit base, smooth over and return to the fridge to chill for a few hours. Defrosting them in the fridge will ensure that they evenly defrost and don’t become too warm, which would happen if you defrosted the slices on the counter. How can I add/change the flavours in my Baileys chocolate cheesecake? The filling does seem very runny when you make it, and you’ll probably wonder whether it will actually set – but it does, and it’s worth the worry. Oh my actual days, it tasted so much better than I thought it would – I made it several more times. BaileysI often do, but I often also make a no-bake dessert as well. These tend to be easier, you don’t need the oven on, and you can make them a few days ahead with no issues. I love a no-bake dessert as we all know, so this one takes the biscuit! Base The cheesecake also contains sugar and chocolate, and pregnant people are also advised to limit their sugar intake. There is a full list of suggested equipment on the recipe card below. How can I tell if Baileys has gone off? Running a little hot water around the outside of the tin will work wonders when it comes to releasing it neatly from the base. If you’re worried about getting water on your cheesecake you can also run hot water over a clean tea towel and wrap it around the outside of the cake for a minute. Or you could try using a hairdryer on a warm setting to loosen the tin. Mix the biscuit crumbs with 75g of melted butter, before pouring the mixture into the loose bottom tin and pressing the buttery biscuit mixture flat against the bottom. Place the tin into the fridge and leave to chill.
