Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 batch brownies or chocolate cake, cut into cubes
- 16 ounces (453 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) heavy cream
Sweet and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 1 cup (200 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish and Decoration:
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) chocolate shavings
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Prepare a decadent chocolate base by baking brownies or cake, then cooling completely. Slice into bite-sized cubes for optimal layering texture.
- Create a velvety cheesecake mixture by whipping cream cheese and powdered sugar until silky. Incorporate Baileys and vanilla, blending until smooth and integrated.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft, billowy peaks emerge, creating a luxurious topping.
- Construct the trifle in a glass vessel or individual servings, alternating layers: first chocolate cubes, then creamy Baileys cheesecake filling, followed by cloud-like whipped cream. Repeat layering technique, ensuring each component is evenly distributed.
- Complete the dessert with elegant garnishes like chocolate shavings, crushed cookies, or miniature chocolate chips. Optional: drizzle additional Baileys or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
- Refrigerate the assembled trifle for minimum 1 hour, allowing flavors to harmonize and texture to settle. Serve chilled for maximum enjoyment and sophisticated presentation.
Notes
- Choose room temperature ingredients for smoother, creamier cheesecake filling that blends effortlessly without lumps.
- Ensure chocolate cake or brownies are completely cooled before cubing to prevent soggy layers and maintain texture integrity.
- Gently fold whipped cream into cheesecake mixture to preserve airiness and prevent deflating the delicate texture.
- For gluten-free version, substitute chocolate cake with gluten-free brownies or almond flour-based cake to accommodate dietary restrictions.
