Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package chocolate cake mix prepared according to package instructions
  • 1 package cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • 1 cup chocolate pudding
  • Chocolate shavings for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Cake: Bake the cake according to the package instructions. Once done, allow it to cool completely before cutting it into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Then, gently fold in the Baileys Irish Cream followed by the whipped cream until fully combined.
  3. Assemble the Trifle: In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, start layering. Begin with a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom. Add a layer of the cream cheese mixture, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding. Repeat this layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with the cream cheese mixture on top.
  4. Garnish and Chill: Finish off the trifle with chocolate shavings as a garnish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
