Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) chocolate graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup (180ml) Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand (about 2 minutes).
  2. Press the crust: Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang. Spread the crust mixture evenly across the bottom and press firmly. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Blend the cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes on medium speed. Scrape down sides to avoid lumps.
  4. Add Bailey’s and flavorings: Pour in Bailey’s Irish Cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully incorporated and silky, about 2 minutes.
  5. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes on high speed.
  6. Fold gently: Using a rubber spatula, fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in three additions, gently folding to keep mixture light and airy until no streaks remain.
  7. Assemble and chill: Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set fully.
  8. Serve: Use parchment paper overhang to lift cheesecake bars from pan. Cut into 12 squares with a sharp knife rinsed in hot water between cuts for clean edges.

Notes

Soften cream cheese to room temperature to avoid lumps. Chill crust before adding filling. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airy texture. Chill bars at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Let bars sit 10 minutes at room temperature before serving for optimal flavor. Use sifted powdered sugar for smooth filling.
