Create a stunning, layered dessert featuring creamy no-bake cheesecake, rich chocolate, and Baileys Irish Cream. This trifle is simple to assemble and perfect for parties or adult gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
  • 1 cup prepared chocolate frosting or ganache
  • Extra Baileys or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup of the Baileys and the vanilla extract until just combined. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the pudding layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, cold milk, and the remaining 1/4 cup of Baileys for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. Assemble the cookie base: In the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl, spread half of the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies to form the first layer.
  4. Layer the fillings: Spoon half of the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookie layer. Follow this with half of the chocolate pudding mixture.
  5. Repeat the layers: Add the remaining crushed cookies over the pudding layer. Top with the remaining cheesecake mixture, spreading it evenly. Finish with the remaining chocolate pudding mixture.
  6. Chill: Cover the trifle bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set firmly.
  7. Garnish and serve: Before serving, spread the chocolate frosting or ganache over the top layer. Garnish with extra chocolate shavings or a light drizzle of Baileys. Serve cold.

Notes

  • For individual servings, assemble this recipe in small glasses or jars instead of one large bowl.
  • You can substitute the chocolate sandwich cookies with crumbled brownies or chocolate cake pieces for a different texture.
  • Make this dessert ahead of time; chilling overnight improves the structure and flavor integration.
