Ingredients
  • FOR THE CRUST
  • 4 tbsp. butter, melted, plus more for pan
  • 26 Oreo cookies
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • FOR THE CHEESECAKE
  • 4 8-oz. bars cream cheese, softened
  • 1½ c. sugar
  • ¼ c. cornstarch
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅔ c. Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • FOR THE GANACHE
  • ⅔ c. heavy cream
  • 2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325ยบ and butter an 8" or 9" springform pan.
  2. Make crust: In a food processor, blend Oreos with melted butter and salt. Pat into a springform pan and set aside while you make filling.
  3. Make cheesecake: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth and fluffy. Add cornstarch, then add eggs. Add Baileys and vanilla.
  4. Pour batter into crust and place on a large baking sheet.
  5. Bake until center of cheesecake is only slightly jiggly, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Let cheesecake cool in oven, 1 hour, then refrigerate until completely cool, 4 hours or up to overnight. (If you'd like to use a water bath, tightly wrap outside of springform pan with two layers of aluminum foil. Transfer to a deep roasting pan and pour in enough boiling water to reach halfway up the cheesecake pan. Bake as directed.)
  6. When ready to serve, make ganache: In a small saucepan over low heat, heat heavy cream. Place chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and pour over hot heavy cream. Let sit 3 minutes, then stir until creamy and no lumps remain. Refrigerate ganache until slightly thick, 15 minutes, and spread all over cheesecake. Let set 10 minutes, then serve.
