- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups whipped cream or Cool Whip
- 1 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
- 1 package of chocolate cookies or brownies crumbled (depending on your preference)
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing well until fully combined.
Incorporate the Baileys: Slowly pour in the Baileys Irish Cream, mixing until the mixture is fully smooth and creamy.
Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined. This makes the cheesecake light and fluffy!
Layer the Trifle: In a large trifle dish or individual glasses, start by adding a layer of crumbled chocolate cookies or brownies. Next, spoon in a layer of the cheesecake mixture. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of the dish. The last layer should be the cheesecake mixture.
Garnish: Finish off with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch!
Chill and Serve: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This will ensure the flavors meld perfectly!
