Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Garnish/Topping:
(None)
Instructions
- Grab a medium mixing bowl and combine 16 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Blend with an electric mixer until perfectly smooth and creamy.
- Pour 1 cup Baileys Irish Cream into the cream cheese mixture. Beat until the filling becomes light and airy with a silky texture.
- Grab a separate chilled bowl and whip 1 cup heavy cream until it doubles in volume and becomes fluffy.
- Gently fold 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons Baileys into the whipped cream. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Place 20 Oreo cookies inside a sealed plastic bag. Crush them using a rolling pin until they create small, crunchy pieces.
- Select clear serving glasses or dessert bowls for layering. Add a base layer of crushed Oreo cookies about ½ inch thick.
- Carefully spoon a thick layer of chocolate cheesecake mixture over the Oreo crumbs, covering them completely.
- Add a generous layer of Baileys chocolate whipped cream on top of the cheesecake mixture.
- Repeat the layering process, creating 2-3 total layers in each glass.
- Finish the trifle with a final dollop of whipped cream using a star-tipped piping bag.
- Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings on top for a decorative garnish.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free cheesecake layer that blends perfectly.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk before whipping cream to help it reach maximum volume and stability.
- Crush Oreos just before assembling to keep the cookie crumble crisp and prevent soggy layers in your trifle.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace Baileys with strong coffee or chocolate milk to maintain the rich flavor profile.
