These creamy Baileys Irish Cream cheesecake bites are quick and easy to make, delivering a velvety smooth texture with a cozy, boozy warmth perfect for parties or quiet indulgences.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (16 g) all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (100 g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease your mini muffin tin well or line with silicone molds to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each mini muffin cup, about 1 tablespoon per cup. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes at medium speed.
  5. Add the large egg and beat until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour in Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and silky-smooth.
  7. Sprinkle in flour and a pinch of salt, then fold gently with a spatula just until combined.
  8. Spoon the filling over the prepared crusts, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges look set but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
  10. Cool the cheesecake bites in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  11. Remove carefully from the tin and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with cocoa powder or melted chocolate.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Do not overmix to avoid cracks. Grease pan well or use silicone molds to prevent sticking. Chill cheesecake bites for at least 2 hours or overnight for best firmness. Variations include adding cocoa powder for chocolate flavor or swapping crust for gluten-free options.
