Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle 🍫🍰
Ingredients:
For the Cheesecake Layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Cake Layer:
1 chocolate cake (store-bought or homemade), crumbled
For the Chocolate Ganache:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
For Assembly:
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
Make the Cheesecake Layer:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until combined.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then add the Baileys and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering.
Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and shiny. Allow to cool slightly.
Assemble the Trifle:
In a large trifle dish or individual glasses, layer half of the crumbled chocolate cake on the bottom.
Spoon half of the cheesecake mixture over the cake layer.
Drizzle half of the chocolate ganache over the cheesecake layer.
Repeat the layers with the remaining cake, cheesecake, and ganache.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, top with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder and whipped cream if desired.
