How to Make Bailey’s Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle
Ingredients:
- 250g chocolate biscuits
- 600g cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 400ml heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g dark chocolate, melted
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Directions:
Prepare the Biscuit Crumbs: Crush the chocolate biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin.
Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the Bailey’s Irish Cream and vanilla extract, then mix well until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Assemble the Trifle: Layer half of the chocolate biscuit crumbs at the bottom of a trifle dish or large glass bowl. Spoon half of the Bailey’s cheesecake mixture over the biscuit crumbs. Drizzle with a portion of the melted dark chocolate. Repeat the layering process with the remaining biscuit crumbs and cheesecake mixture.
Chill and Garnish: Cover and refrigerate the trifle for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings and an additional drizzle of melted dark chocolate.

Tips to Make Bailey’s Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle
