✏️ Why you'll love this recipe

Bailey’s is such a delicious alcohol flavour to add to desserts, and this fluffy Bailey’s white chocolate cheesecake is no exception!

For such a luxury Baileys cheesecake, it’s surprisingly simple to make. As a no-bake recipe, no oven and no water bath are needed. There’s also no gelatin and instead, it’s a chilled fridge cheesecake. Plus, the white chocolate in the filling helps it to set faster for a quick and easy Baileys cheesecake recipe.

This homemade white chocolate and baileys cheesecake recipe makes for a great special occasion dessert. As an easy no-bake dessert, it can be made in advance and left in the fridge. Perfect to save oven space for the best no-bake Christmas and Thanksgiving dessert.

I love making it as a boozy white Christmas cheesecake or even a St Patrick’s Day dessert. It’s also great for potlucks and birthday parties!

🥘 Ingredients

baileys white chocolate no-bake cheesecake recipe ingredients in bowls with labels.

This Bailey's white chocolate cheesecake recipe calls for the following ingredients:

1. Oreo base:

  • Oreos
  • Butter: use unsalted for a low-salt and sweeter base.

2. Bailey's white chocolate cheesecake filling:

  • White chocolate: from the baking aisle for ease of melting.
  • Cream cheese: must be full-fat cream cheese (I like Philadelphia for its low water content). Use room temperature for ease of mixing.
  • Bailey’s Irish cream liqueur: original or a flavour of your choice.
  • Heavy cream (e.g. double cream): use cold cream straight from the fridge for whipping success.

See the recipe card for quantities.

Top tip: For accuracy, it’s best to weigh your ingredients rather than using cups.

♻️ Substitutions / Variations

Ingredient substitutions

You can swap the Oreos for graham crackers or digestive biscuits for your Baileys cheesecake base For a Christmas Baileys cheesecake, swap the Oreos for ginger cookies.

As these are all drier cookies, add an extra 1 tablespoon of butter to the base recipe.

Flavour options

This is one of my favourite white chocolate Bailey's recipes, but to exclude the white chocolate from your cheesecake, see my no-bake Irish cream cheesecake with baileys chocolate ganache recipe.

You can swap the white chocolate for dark chocolate and reduce the amount to 270g / 1 ½ cups instead.

One of the best toppings for this Bailey's white chocolate cheesecake is a deliciously rich Baileys chocolate ganache. Another great idea is fresh raspberries for a fruity twist or malteasers for a touch of luxury.

💭 Top tips

  • Using a springform tin (or loose-bottom tin) is easier to get your cheesecake out after. Check out these springform pan lining tips to see how best to line your cheesecake tin.
  • Instead of a food processor, you can crush your cookies by placing them into a plastic food bag and bashing them with a rolling pin.
  • To help your cheesecake set, whip your cold cream to soft peaks and fold it into your Baileys filling mixture gently.
  • For a smooth cheesecake filling, use room temperature cream cheese to stop lumps of white chocolate from forming.
  • To prevent a soggy base, check whether your cookie base layer is completely cool before you add the filling. If not, pop it back into the fridge for another 10mins until cold.
  • Where possible, make your Baileys white chocolate cheesecake the day before serving so you can be sure it’s nice and firm.
  • To remove your white chocolate Irish cream cheesecake from the springform pan, run a knife or spatula around the edge. Place the cheesecake on a mug or cup. Unclip the pan and slowly lower the sides of the pan.
  • Decorate your Baileys cheesecake with more white chocolate, grating it for small shavings or using white chocolate sprinkles. You can also melt the white chocolate to drizzle over the top.

❔ Recipe FAQs

How long does Baileys white chocolate cheesecake last?

Your Baileys white chocolate cheesecake should last for up 4 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Can you freeze Baileys white chocolate cheesecake?

Yes! You can freeze your Baileys white chocolate cheesecake wrapped in two layers of cling film and a layer of foil for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge and enjoy!
