Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream plus extra for whipping
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
  • 3 cups chocolate cake cubed (store-bought or homemade)
  • Chocolate shavings and berries for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Cake: If using a homemade cake, bake and let it cool completely. For a store-bought cake, simply set it aside for layering.
  2. Create the Cheesecake Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in melted chocolate and Baileys until creamy and well-combined.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cheesecake mixture for a fluffy, airy texture.
  4. Layer the Trifle: In a trifle bowl or individual cups, layer the bottom with pieces of chocolate cake, followed by a layer of cheesecake mixture. Repeat until you reach the top, finishing with a cheesecake layer for a beautiful presentation.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate the trifle for at least 2-4 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Top with chocolate shavings and fresh berries for added color before serving.
