Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle with a Twist

Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle with a Twist 🍫🍰

Ingredients:

– 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
– 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur substitute (such as a milk and vanilla syrup blend)
– 2 cups heavy whipping cream
– 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur substitute (such as a milk and vanilla syrup blend)
– Optional garnish: chocolate shavings

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Crust:** In a mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a trifle dish or individual serving glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set the crust.

3. **Make the Cheesecake Filling:** In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. Mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and Irish cream liqueur substitute until fully combined and creamy.

5. **Make the Whipped Cream:** In another bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form.

6. Gradually add in powdered sugar and the Irish cream liqueur substitute, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is fluffy.

7. **Assemble the Trifle:** In your chilled dish, start with half of the Oreo crust. Then add a layer of cheesecake filling followed by a layer of whipped cream.

8. Repeat with the remaining Oreo crust, cheesecake filling, and whipped cream, layering as you go.

9. For a final touch, garnish the top with chocolate shavings if desired.

10. **Chill:** Cover and refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours or, for the best flavor and texture, overnight before serving.

Preparation time: 30 minutes | Chilling time: 2 hours (recommended overnight)
