Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 cup (240 grams) graham cracker crumbs
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon (12.5 grams) sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Binding and Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Pulverize graham crackers into fine crumbs, then blend with melted butter and sugar until thoroughly combined, creating a cohesive base mixture.
- Firmly compact the cracker mixture into mini muffin tin cavities, pressing evenly to form a solid, uniform crust layer.
- Whip cream cheese in a mixing bowl until exceptionally smooth, gradually incorporating powdered sugar to ensure no lumps remain.
- Fold in Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract, gently stirring until the filling achieves a silky, consistent texture.
- Carefully transfer the creamy mixture into prepared crusts, filling each compartment approximately three-quarters full to prevent overflow.
- Chill the assembled bites in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours, allowing them to set and develop a rich, dense consistency.
- Prior to serving, enhance the presentation by sprinkling mini chocolate chips across the surface or delicately drizzling additional Baileys Irish Cream for an extra decadent touch.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free mixture that blends effortlessly.
- Crush graham crackers finely for a uniform, compact crust that holds together perfectly when bitten.
- Chill the cheesecake bites thoroughly to develop a rich, intense flavor and create a sturdy, creamy texture.
- Swap Baileys with non-alcoholic coffee creamer for a family-friendly version that maintains the delicious essence.
