1-Creating this Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle is as fun as eating it, and with a prep time of about 20 minutes, you’ll have a stunning dessert ready in no time. Start by beating the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt until it’s perfectly smooth and creamy. Then, gently fold in the Irish cream liqueur to add that light, fluffy touch to your cheesecake layer.

2-Next, for the chocolate whipped cream, take your well-chilled heavy whipping cream and whip it to soft peaks before mixing in the Irish cream liqueur, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Keep whipping until you reach stiff peaks for that ideal topping. Don’t forget to crush the chocolate sandwich cookies finely to add the perfect crunch in each layer.

3-Now, assemble your trifle in dessert cups by starting with a layer of crushed cookies, followed by the cheesecake mixture, and then the whipped cream. Repeat the layers once more for extra indulgence, and top it off with more whipped cream and cookie crumbs. You can serve it right away or pop it in the fridge for up to an hour to let the flavors blend even more.
