Ingredients:
- 8 large refrigerated biscuit dough rounds (such as Pillsbury Grands)
- 5 cups neutral oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil work well)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream (for the cheesecake filling)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for the cheesecake filling)
- 4 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 5 tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream, heated (for the chocolate glaze)
Preparing the Doughnuts
Cutting and Shaping the Dough
To begin extract making our delightful Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts, the first step is to prepare the biscuit dough. Carefully open the can of refrigerated biscuits, taking care not to let the dough expand too quickly. Gently unroll the dough and separate the eight individual biscuit rounds. For each biscuit, you’ll want to create a doughnut shape. You can do this by using a small biscuit cutter or the end of a clean glass to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit. Aim for a hole that’s about an inch in diameter. This will ensure that the doughnuts cook evenly and have that classic doughnut appearance. Once you’ve cut out the centers, save these smaller dough circles as they make for a delicious, bite-sized treat. You can fry these separately or set them aside for another time.
Frying the Doughnuts
Achieving Golden Perfection
Now comes the fun part: frying! In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, pour in your 5 cups of neutral oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350-360 degrees Fahrenheit (175-180 degrees Celsius). It’s crucial to maintain this temperature range for the best results. If the oil is too cool, your doughnuts will absorb too much grease, and if it’s too hot, they’ll burn on the outside before cooking through. You can test the oil by dropping a tiny piece of dough into it; it should sizzle immediately and float to the top. Carefully place 2-3 doughnut rounds into the hot oil at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are beautifully golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to carefully flip the doughnuts and remove them once they’re cooked. Place the fried doughnuts on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain off any excess oil. Repeat this process with the remaining biscuit dough, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.
Making the Bailey’s Cheesecake Filling
Creamy and Irresistible Filling
While the doughnuts are cooling slightly, let’s prepare the luscious Bailey’s cheesecake filling. In a medium bowl, combine the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and the 2 tablespoons of sour cream. Using an electric mixer (or a whisk and some elbow grease), beat these together until they are incredibly smooth and creamy, with no lumps of cream cheese remaining. This is the base of our delightful filling. Next, gradually add the 1/4 cup of Bailey’s Irish Cream to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to beat until everything is well incorporated and you have a smooth, decadent filling. The sour cream adds a lovely tang, while the Bailey’s infuses it with that signature Irish cream flavor that pairs so wonderfully with cheesecake. Taste the filling; if you prefer it a bit sweeter, you can add a touch more sugar, but the richness of the Bailey’s and the natural sweetness of the biscuits should be sufficient for most palates.
Crafting the Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Glaze
Silky Smooth Chocolate Topping
For the final touch, we’ll create a rich and tempting chocolate glaze. In a heatproof bowl, place the 4 ounces of finely chopped milk chocolate. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the 5 tablespoons of Bailey’s Irish Cream. You want it to be hot, but not boiling. Slowly pour the hot Bailey’s Irish Cream over the chopped milk chocolate. Let it sit for about a minute to allow the heat from the liqugin extractto begin melting the chocolate. Then, using a whisk or a spatula, gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and the glaze is smooth, glossy, and uniform in consistency. Be patient with this step; vigorous stirring can sometimes make chocolate glazes seize. If you find the glaze is too thick, you can add a tiny splash more of warmed Bailey’s or even a teaspoon of warm milk. If it’s too thin, let it sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
Assembling and Glazing Your Doughnuts
The Grand Finnon-alcoholic ale
Once the doughnuts have cooled to a point where they are comfortable to handle but still slightly warm (this helps the glaze adhere better), it’s time for assembly. You can either spoon the Bailey’s cheesecake filling directly into the center of the doughnuts, or for a more professional look, you can use a piping bag fitted with a large round tip to fill them. If you’re spooning, be generous! Each doughnut should have a good dollop of the creamy filling. After filling the doughnuts, it’s time to glaze them. Dip the top of each filled doughnut into the warm Bailey’s Irish Cream chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. You can also use a spoon to generously drizzle the glaze over the top. If you saved the smaller doughnut hole pieces, you can glaze those as well for a delightful little bonus. Let the glazed doughnuts sit on the wire rack for a few minutes to allow the glaze to set slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts ahead of time?
Yes, you can! While best enjoyed fresh, the unglazed doughnuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. The cheesecake filling might set up a bit more, but they will still be delicious. Glaze them just before serving for the freshest taste and texture.
What if I don’t have Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur extract?
No worries! You can oliqueur extract liqueur and simply increase the amount of milk or cream slightly to achieve the desired consistency. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of nutmeg to the batter to mimic some of the warming spice notes.
