This Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle features rich layers of Baileys-infused chocolate cheesecake, whipped cream, and Oreo cookie crumbles. A no-bake indulgence that’s both elegant and effortless.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth. Add the Baileys Irish Cream and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Set aside.
Prepare the Chocolate Whipped Cream:
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks begin to form. Add the Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form and the mixture is smooth and spreadable.
Crush the Cookies:
Place the Oreo cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Using a rolling pin or flat-bottomed glass, crush the cookies into small, even crumbs.
Assemble the Trifles:
Transfer the cheesecake mixture and the whipped cream to separate piping bags for easier layering (optional). In four lowball glasses or small dessert cups, begin by adding a layer of crushed Oreos, followed by a layer of cheesecake mixture, and then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layering once more.
Decorate and Serve:
Using a star piping tip (such as Tip #1M), pipe a decorative swirl of whipped cream on the top layer. Garnish with remaining cookie crumbs. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the Oreo cookies with a certified gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookie of your choice. Ensure all other ingredients used (such as Baileys and cocoa powder) are labeled gluten-free.
