Mini baileys basque cheesecakes FAQ:
Bake the Mini Baileys Basque Cheesecakes in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are deeply golden brown and the centers are slightly jiggly.
The cheesecakes will puff up during baking and then settle down as they cool. Look for a deeply golden brown top, and the centers should have a slight jiggle, indicating they are set but still creamy.
For cream cheese, you can use mascarpone for a different flavor and texture. For heavy whipping cream, full-fat coconut cream is a dairy-free alternative, though the taste may vary slightly.
This recipe is intended for a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Make sure to line the cups with cupcake liners or lightly grease them if you prefer not to use liners.
Store any leftover Mini Baileys Basque Cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
Tips:
- Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth and creamy batter.
- For the best results, use high-quality cream cheese and Baileys. The quality of these ingredients will significantly affect the final taste.
- Line your baking tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the cheesecakes once they are baked.
- Avoid over-beating the batter to prevent incorporating too much air, which can cause cracks on the surface of your cheesecakes.
- Allow the cheesecakes to cool gradually in the oven with the door slightly ajar to avoid sudden temperature changes, which can cause sinking or cracking.
