Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (or store-bought chocolate cake)
- 16 oz (454 g) cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups (720 ml) heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups (255 g) chocolate chips
- 1 cup (100 g) crushed chocolate cookies
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- Shaved chocolate for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare chocolate cake according to package directions, allowing it to cool completely before transforming into bite-sized cubes.
- Whip cream cheese in a spacious mixing bowl until velvety, gradually incorporating powdered sugar for a silky smooth texture.
- Infuse the cream cheese mixture with Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract, blending until fully integrated and aromatic.
- Gently whip heavy cream to stiff, billowy peaks, then delicately fold into the Baileys-infused cream cheese base, creating a luxurious mousse-like consistency.
- Construct elegant layers in a transparent trifle vessel, beginning with a generous foundation of chocolate cake cubes.
- Generously spread the Baileys cream mixture over the cake, ensuring complete coverage and even distribution.
- Sprinkle a crunchy layer of crushed cookies and chocolate chips between each creamy tier for textural contrast.
- Conclude the layering process with a lavish crown of whipped cream, elegantly garnishing with delicate chocolate shavings.
- Refrigerate the assembled trifle for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing flavors to meld and texture to set perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Keep cake cubes uniform in size for consistent texture and elegant presentation.
- Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream to achieve faster, fluffier peaks.
- Gradually add Baileys to prevent mixture from becoming too liquid, maintaining perfect creamy consistency.
- For non-alcoholic version, substitute Baileys with strong coffee or chocolate syrup for similar depth of flavor.
