The Boozy Baker: Chocolate Bailey’s Oreo Cheesecakes

24 Mar

Reviewed by: Tortalicious
Alcohol used: Bailey’s Irish Cream (actually, I used the knock off, St. Brendan’s)

These cheesecakes are very sweet and creamy. The Bailey’s taste is very subtle and I HIGHLY recommend that you don’t skimp on the chocolate glaze. I initially wasn’t going to do it because I don’t use heavy cream often, but without the glaze it tastes..like it needs more chocolate. Sounds funny, but it’s true! In total I made about 17 cupcakes.

Chocolate Bailey’s Oreo Cheesecakes (from Gingerbread Bagels)

Crust
15 whole Oreos (you may need more/less)

Cheesecake Batter

  • 1 pound softened cream cheese (that’s 2 packages of cream cheese)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 Tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 4 Tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1/3 cup sour cream

Chocolate Glaze

  • 2 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips (~ 4 Tbsps)
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  1. In a large mixing bowl with the paddle attachment (a handheld mixer works fine), mix together the softened cream cheese, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder and all purpose flour. Once that’s combined, add in the eggs, one at a time.
  2. Add in the Bailey’s Irish Cream. Then add in the sour cream. Mix to combine. Set aside.
  3. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Place a whole Oreo in each cupcake liner.
  4. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop the cheesecake batter on top of each Oreo. If you need to, spread out the cheesecake batter. 
  5. Bake the cheesecakes at 300 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheesecakes are set. Once the cheesecakes are done baking, cool them in the refrigerator overnight. Keep the cheesecakes in the cupcake pan while they cool.
  6. After the cheesecakes have cooled overnight, make the chocolate glaze.
  7. Put the chocolate chips in a bowl. Pour the heavy whipping cream into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it boils, remove from the heat and pour it over the chocolate chips. Whisk the ingredients together until completely combined. 
  8. Allow the chocolate glaze to sit for a couple of minutes. Then spoon the chocolate glaze over the cheesecakes.
  9. If you liked, crush up some Oreos in a food processor and sprinkle on top of the chocolate glaze.
