Ingredients
Scale
For the Chocolate Cake Crumble:
- 10 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Baileys Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
For the Chocolate Ganache (Optional):
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
For the Assembly:
Instructions
- Make the chocolate cake crumble: In a food processor, grind the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and mix well. Set aside.
- Make the Baileys cheesecake filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the Baileys: Stir in the Baileys Irish Cream until well combined.
- Fold in the whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the Baileys cheesecake mixture until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the trifle: In a trifle dish or a large bowl, create layers of the chocolate cake crumble, Baileys cheesecake filling, raspberries, and blueberries. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of cheesecake filling. Drizzle the remaining Baileys Irish Cream over the top.
- Make the chocolate ganache (optional): In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the heavy whipping cream until simmering. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache over the top of the trifle, letting it drizzle down the sides.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecake filling is set. Garnish with additional fresh berries or whipped cream before serving.
Notes
- Spiked berries (optional): For an extra boozy kick, you can marinate the raspberries and blueberries in a tablespoon or two of Baileys Irish Cream for 30 minutes before assembling the trifle.
- No-bake cheesecake option: If you don’t want to bake a cheesecake, you can use a store-bought chocolate cheesecake for the filling. Just crumble it into pieces and layer it in the trifle.
- Enjoy 😉
