Description
A rich and indulgent dessert with layers of creamy cheesecake, chocolate cake, and luscious ganache, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 small chocolate cake, crumbled
- 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream (for ganache)
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish
- Optional: whipped cream or Bailey’s for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Bailey’s Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add Bailey’s Irish Cream and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Chill while you prepare the other components.
- Make the Chocolate Ganache: Heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Trifle: In a trifle bowl or individual dessert cups, start with a layer of crumbled chocolate cake. Add a generous layer of Bailey’s cheesecake filling. Drizzle the cheesecake layer with chocolate ganache. Repeat the layers until the trifle bowl is full, finishing with cheesecake on top.
- Garnish: Drizzle the top with more ganache. Sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles for decoration. Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream or a splash of Bailey’s on top.
- Serve chilled, either in a glass bowl or individual cups.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Allow ganache to cool slightly before drizzling.
