Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
For the filling
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs large, at room temperature
  • 0.33 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

Equipment

  • 1 standard 12-cup muffin pan

Method
 

Make the crust
  1. Heat the oven to 325°F.
  2. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  3. Stir the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter together.
  4. Divide the crumb mixture evenly among the liners and press firmly into the bottoms.
  5. Bake the crusts for 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Let the crusts cool while you make the filling.
Make the filling and bake
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time on low speed.
  3. Mix in the Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour just until combined.
  4. Divide the filling among the crusts.
  5. Bake at 325°F for 18 to 22 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still wobble slightly when the pan is gently shaken.
  6. Cool the cheesecakes in the pan for 30 minutes.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

For smooth filling, beat the softened cream cheese until no lumps remain before adding the other filling ingredients. Refrigerate covered for up to 5 days; freeze for up to 2 months. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs and a gluten-free flour blend.
