Bailey's Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle Ingredients
- Cream cheese
- Sugar - powdered sugar
- Cocoa - unsweetened cocoa powder
- Vanilla - vanilla extract
- Salt - sea salt
- Irish Cream - Bailey’s Irish Cream
- Whipping cream - heavy whipping cream
- Cookies - Oreo cookies
This trifle recipe makes 4 generous servings. If you have smaller dishes you’d like to use, you could divide the recipe across 6 servings, and it would still be plenty per serving. Piping the layers into the glasses is optional, but it definitely makes it more uniform and less messy.
We used powdered sugar in these no-bake trifles because it blends so smoothly into the cheesecake and the whipped cream layers. These desserts are thick enough that they do not need to be chilled before serving. However, they can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until serving time.
There are many other brands of Irish Cream Liqueur that will work just as well as Baileys. Try Saint Brendan’s, Five Farms, Carolans, or Ryan’s. You could also make this an alcohol-free dessert by leaving out the Bailey’s altogether. Replace it with heavy cream, and you have a family-friendly version of the dessert.
How to Make Bailey's Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle
FIRST STEP: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and sea salt together until combined. Add ¼ cup of Baileys and continue beating until smooth and fluffy.
SECOND STEP: In a separate mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until it doubles in volume and begins to thicken. Add in 2 tablespoons of Baileys, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Continue beating until the mixture has thickened and stiff peaks form.
THIRD STEP: Place the Oreo cookies into a gallon-size plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to form small crumbles.
FOURTH STEP: Place the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag and the whipped cream mixture into a second piping bag.
FIFTH STEP: Beginning with the cookie crumbs, layer the cookie crumbs, cheesecake mixture, and whipped cream mixture into four lowball glasses. Repeat with a second layer of cookie crumbs and cheesecake mixture.
SIXTH STEP: Put an open star piping tip (e.g., Tip #1M) on the whipped cream piping bag and pipe a swirl on the top of each glass. Sprinkle with a few remaining cookie crumbles and serve.
Can I make this a non-alcoholic dessert?
Certainly! If you leave out the Bailey’s from the whipped cream and replace the Bailey’s from the cheesecake with regular heavy cream, you can turn this perfect dessert into a non-alcoholic version.
What are the best bowls to make these trifles in?
Any small parfait type of glasses would be perfect for this recipe. We recommend lowball glasses. Small mason jars or any other small glass bowl would be cute as well.
Can I freeze chocolate cheesecake trifle?
We don’t recommend freezing these cheesecake trifles as the cream would not likely hold up very well.
How to Store Bailey's Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle
IN THE FRIDGE: Store leftover Bailey’s cheesecakes covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
IN THE FREEZER: We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
