Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 24 ounces (680 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Optional garnish: whipped cream, chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, mini Oreo cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease the springform pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Crush the Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter and sugar until evenly combined. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to create an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides.
  4. Add granulated sugar and beat until well combined and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating gently after each addition to incorporate without overmixing.
  6. Mix in Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour. Beat on low speed until just combined. The batter should be silky and pourable but thick enough to hold shape.
  7. Pour the filling over the cooled Oreo crust. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release trapped air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until edges are set but center jiggles slightly when shaken gently.
  9. Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  10. Remove cheesecake from oven and chill in refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  11. Before serving, run a knife around pan edges to loosen cheesecake. Remove springform ring carefully.
  12. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or mini Oreos if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients to avoid lumps. Do not overbeat after adding eggs to prevent cracks. Press crust firmly for better texture. Cool cheesecake gradually in oven with door cracked to avoid cracking. Chill overnight for best texture and flavor. If cracks appear, cover with whipped cream or chocolate ganache.
