12. Remove the cheesecake from the oven, run a knife around the edges to loosen it, and let it cool completely at room temperature for 2 hours.
13. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Now, this cheesecake sets into a luxuriously smooth texture with a velvety crumb. The flavor is a dreamy blend of sweet cream cheese and that warm, coffee-kissed Baileys—perfect for slicing thin and serving with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream.
