Bailey’s Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle

Ingredients 

Cheesecake

• 16 ounces cream cheese softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ cup Bailey’s Irish Cream

Chocolate Whipped Cream

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
• 2 tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions 

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Place the Oreo cookies into a gallon-size plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to form small crumbles.
4. Place the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag and the whipped cream mixture into a second piping bag.
5. 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.
6. 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.
