Smooth and creamy, this recipe for Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cheesecake is absolutely amazing. I decided to whip up a new cheesecake recipe to celebrate the holiday season. What is better
As a day-after-Christmas baby, I don’t normally get cake. But with this Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cheesecake recipe, I don’t even mind.
Easy to make, I did not use the coffee topping but instead made homemade whipped cream. No matter when you serve this delicious cheesecake recipe, it will receive rave reviews. For best results, I recommend preparing this wonderful cheesecake two nights in advance of your event.
