Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Optional garnish: whipped cream, chocolate shavings or cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Fold in sour cream, Bailey’s Irish Cream, vanilla extract, and flour. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour the filling over the warm crust and spread evenly. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are set but center has a slight jiggle.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Slice into bars using a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts.
  11. Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream and cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for smooth mixing. Do not overmix the filling to avoid cracks. Bake at 325°F for even cooking and prevent browning. Chill bars overnight for best texture. Use parchment paper for easy removal. For gluten-free, substitute crust with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs. For dairy-free, use plant-based cream cheese and butter substitutes.
