These no-bake cheesecake bars blend rich Baileys Irish Cream with velvety cream cheese for a smooth, boozy, and sweet dessert perfect for celebrations and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits crushed finely)
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅔ cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • Optional: chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
  • Optional: whipped cream dollops

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand (about 3 minutes).
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a lined 8×8 inch pan. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes), scraping down sides occasionally.
  4. Slowly pour in Baileys Irish Cream, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form (3-4 minutes on high speed).
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula with slow, sweeping motions.
  7. Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Smooth the top.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. Before slicing, run a butter knife under hot water and dry it to get clean edges. Cut into 16 squares and garnish with optional chocolate shavings or whipped cream.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Chill bars at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Run knife under hot water before slicing for clean edges. Fresh Baileys improves flavor. Can substitute gluten-free or dairy-free ingredients as needed.
