Can I use a different type of liquor instead of Baileys?

Absolutely! Feel free to swap the Baileys for another creamy, boozy liqueur like Kahlúa, Amaretto, or even bourbon. Just be sure to use the same measurement (1/4 cup) to maintain the right flavor balance.

Do I have to use a springform pan?

Nope! While a springform pan makes it easy to remove the cheesecake in one piece, you can also bake this in a regular 9-inch pie dish or cake pan. Just be sure to grease it well and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?

Yes, this Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake is the perfect make-ahead dessert! You can bake it up to 3 days in advance and store it covered in the fridge until you're ready to serve. Just be sure to give it a few extra minutes to come to room temperature before slicing and enjoying. 😋

How do I know when the cheesecake is done?

The key to perfectly baked cheesecake is to look for a slight jiggle in the center when you gently shake the pan. The edges should be set, but the middle should still have a slight wobble. This usually happens around the 55-65 minute mark in the oven.

Can I freeze this cheesecake?

Absolutely! This Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake freezes beautifully. Just be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing. It will keep for up to 2 months in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy, simply thaw it in the fridge overnight.
