Description

Indulge in this decadent Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle, a luscious no-bake dessert featuring layers of crushed chocolate cookies or brownies, creamy Baileys-infused cheesecake filling, and rich melted chocolate. Perfect for special occasions or an elegant treat, this trifle combines smooth textures with intense chocolate flavors, topped with optional chocolate chips and shavings for a beautiful presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Layer

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cookies or brownies

Cheesecake Cream

  • 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp butter

Garnish (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • Chocolate shavings or curls

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Layer: Crush the chocolate cookies or crumble the brownies into small pieces and set them aside for layering.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip to maintain a light texture. Set aside.
  3. Make the Baileys Cheesecake Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add Baileys Irish Cream and mix until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Baileys cream cheese mixture to keep the mixture airy and light.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Assemble the Layers: Place half of the crushed cookies or brownies evenly in the bottom of a large trifle dish or individual glasses. Press down gently to create a firm base.
  7. Add the Cheesecake Layer: Spoon half of the Baileys cream cheese mixture over the cookie layer, spreading evenly.
  8. Pour Melted Chocolate: Pour half of the melted chocolate mixture over the cream layer, gently spreading with the back of a spoon for even coverage.
  9. Repeat the Layers: Add the remaining crushed cookies or brownies, followed by the remaining Baileys cream cheese mixture and melted chocolate, layering as before.
  10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle the trifle with milk chocolate chips and chocolate shavings or curls for a decorative touch.
  11. Chill: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly before serving.

Notes

  • Use chilled heavy cream for better whipping results.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
  • Be gentle while folding to keep the mixture airy and light.
  • You can prepare the trifle a day ahead to enhance the flavors.
  • For a stronger Baileys flavor, adjust the amount to taste, but avoid making the mixture too runny.
  • Optional garnishes add texture and visual appeal but can be omitted if preferred.
