Brownie Bottom Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake

Brownie Bottom Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake-

An elegant holiday dessert recipe which combines a fudgy chocolate brownie bottom with a creamy and silky no-bake Baileys dark chocolate cheesecake top! Looks fancy and tastes even better than it looks.

Anytime I hear the words “chocolate brownie”, “coffee”, “cheesecake”, believe me that my mind and body stop talking to each other after that. And if there are the words “Brownie Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake” there is no brain involved. This dessert combines all of my favorite things! This version of cheesecake is my most favourite- Pure decadence with a fudgy brownie base, a creamy dark chocolate center and again few broken brownie pieces with crunchy chocolate crispies on top. Can anything sound better? Nah!

Yes, you heard me right! This no bake cheesecake has a chocolate brownie base instead of the usual digestive biscuit or Oreo crust which means there is chocolate in literally every bite of this cake. And that makes this dessert extra special. The idea of giving this cheesecake a brownie bottom came into my mind when i saw an almost similar post on Instagram. The cheesecake filling turn the brownie super moist, dense and delicious! The dense base is a great contrast to the smooth filling.

This cheesecake is full of Baileys and dark chocolate flavors. Baileys pairs very well with chocolate. The smooth, creamy liqueur gives this celebration cheesecake the wow factor. Addition of liqueur is rather unusual for most of the desserts but it makes the desserts even more interesting and a fun adult dessert too. If you don’t want alcohol in your dessert then you can totally skip the baileys part, then it will be a normal Brownie Bottom Chocolate Cheesecake.

Cheesecake is one of those desserts that can seem sort of intimidating to make because there are a few tricks to getting it just right, but in the end, it’s actually quite simple. This chocolate brownie cheesecake is a partial no-bake recipe. Only the brownie base needs to be bake, not the cheesecake top.

To get started you’ll have to make the brownie. Bake it in the same springform pan that you’ll use for the whole cheesecake, so that it gets the even size. Once the brownie is baked, make sure to allow it to cool completely and then add the cheesecake filling on the top and keep it in the refrigerator to set. This cheesecake has NO GELATIN in it because chocolate does all the work of gelatin; which is another reason I love this cake so much.

This cake goes perfectly with your coffee or you can enjoy this as a holiday dessert in house parties, friends and family get together! And for sure, your friends and family will love you for it! I recently served this for my New Year Eve party and it was a big hit!

Tips for making the cheesecake-

-Once you bake the brownie base, make sure to allow it to cool completely before topping it with the chocolate cheesecake layer!

-For the cheesecake layer it’s important that your melted chocolate has cooled, and your cream cheese is at room temperature.

-To add a decorative top, you can add some melted chocolate and cut up chunks of brownies (either from store-bought or homemade).

And just a side note – if you want to bake the brownie ahead of time and then finish the cheesecake later or the next day, you can totally do that.

Well here you go! As you can see the step by step instructions below; this wonderful Brownie Bottom Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake is super easy to make with just a few basic ingredients.
