Irish Cream No-Bake Cheesecake

Bailey's Irish Cream No-Bake Cheesecake

Good morning! Things are looking pretty different around here, huh?! Eat. Drink. Love. just got an awesome makeover! I’m so excited about the new look and I hope you guys like it!

First, I want to give a major shout out to Lacey from Little Miss Nerd Girl for doing such a great job on my blog design! I totally recommend her to any of you other bloggers out there that are looking to give your blogs a little facelift!

There are still a few kinks to work out and I will be working on those over the next week so bear with me! Aside from the new design, some new features that have been added are email subscriptions (don’t know why I didn’t have that before, sorry!!), and for every post starting today and on, you will now see a print button attached to each recipe that you can just print out my recipes instead of the whole page!

Ok, now onto this Bailey’s Irish Cream No-Bake Cheesecake deliciousness…

I have one thing to say about this…O.M.F.G.!!! Yes, it’s that good. This Irish cream cheesecake is rich, boozy, creamy, and decadent. In fact, it was so rich, I couldn’t even finish my little bowl and it made me sad because boy did I want to!

Make it for St. Patty’s Day, make it for a Friday night, I don’t really care, just make it!! And make it NOW!

Bailey's Irish Cream No-Bake Cheesecake

Irish Cream No-Bake Cheesecake

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 Oreo cookies, cream removed
  • 3 tbs. unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (8-ounce) block reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (8-ounce) container light whipped topping thawed
  • 1/2 cup Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Topping
  • whipped topping (optional)
  • nuts (optional)
  • caramel (optional)
  • sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the Oreos into a food processor and crush into crumbs. Or you can also place them in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin. Divide the crumbs evenly amongst individual serving dishes and push the crumbs down to form a crust. Spoon a little bit of the melted butter over the crumbs in each dish. Try to cover as much of the crumbs as possible.
  2. Place the chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave. Add the cream cheese and beat until smooth with an electric mixer. Stir in the vanilla and Bailey's. Fold in the whipped topping until well-blended.
  3. Pipe or spoon the mixture evenly amongst the serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.
  4. Add toppings, if desired.

Notes

You can adjust the fat in this recipe by using regular, reduced fat, or fat-free cream cheese. Same goes for the whipped topping!

    The site looks great! And this cheesecake looks ah-maizing! And that’s coming from someone who doesn’t really love cheesecake. I like that you made individual portions too. Hope you have a great week!

    Lovely website, beautiful photography…and perfect easily put-together dessert for St. Paddy’s Day! Question…Would it be possible to use silken tofu or chilled and whipped unsweetened condensed milk (or?) other substiutions for the non-dairy whipped topping ingredient?…One can’t find that here in France…and I would so love to make this…Thanks to you or your readers for any enlightenment/suggestions!

      Stephanie says:

      Hey Donna, the whipped topping is whipped cream. I used Cool Whip. But you can substitute that with heavy cream or dairy product that you can whip into a cream! Hope that helps!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the new look!!!! Also can I please come over and have some of these with you!! Yummy!!!

    Love the new look!

    As for this cheesecake – YUM! I love no-bake cheesecakes because every time I attempt to make cheesecake, it is an absolute disaster. For Thanksgiving, I had to go through 3 pumpkin cheesecakes. On the first one, the water seeped into the cheesecake even though I wrapped in foil. Water still seeped in on the second cheesecake even with the foil and an oven bag, and then the third one had no water bath so it had cracks! Yeah, not fun. So I promised myself never to make baked cheesecakes ever again, which has been kind of difficult but now I can fulfill my cheesecake cravings with these gorgeous babies!

    Just made this with reduced fat cream cheese and fat free whipped topping! It’s definitely boozy – so be aware! People who don’t like it really strong may want to add the liqueur to taste. The other option might be to used the Bailey’s coffee creamer for those who don’t like the alcohol but like the flavor. Might be a bit on the sweet side, though. Either way – a winner! :)
