Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chocolate Cheesecake Layer:
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- For the Brownie Layer:
- 1 batch of brownies (homemade or store-bought), cut into small cubes
- For the Whipped Cream Layer:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional Garnishes:
- Chocolate shavings or curls
- Mini chocolate chips
- Cocoa powder for dusting
- Chocolate syrup drizzle
Instructions
- Make the Chocolate Cheesecake Layer:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the Baileys Irish Cream and cocoa powder, and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Set aside. - Prepare the Whipped Cream:
In a clean mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip. Set aside. - Assemble the Trifle:
In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, start by adding a layer of brownie cubes at the bottom. Top with a layer of the Baileys chocolate cheesecake mixture, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat these layers until the trifle dish is filled, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top. - Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle the top layer with chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or a dusting of cocoa powder for a decorative touch. You can also drizzle chocolate syrup on top. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute Baileys Irish Cream with 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup or 1/4 cup of milk mixed with a splash of vanilla extract.
- Use high-quality chocolate for garnishing to add extra richness to each bite.
