Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and essential kitchen tools, including mixing bowls, a whisk, and trifle dishes or individual serving cups.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Slowly pour in the Baileys Irish Cream, folding gently until fully incorporated.
Layering
- In your trifle dish or individual cups, layer chocolate cookie crumbs at the bottom.
- Add a layer of the creamy Baileys mixture.
- Drizzle a layer of chocolate ganache over the cream.
- Repeat this layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of Baileys cream on top.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Garnish with dark chocolate shavings and fresh mint leaves before serving.
Notes
Allowing the trifle to chill enhances the flavors. Use room-temperature cream cheese for smooth consistency. Chill your bowl and beaters for whipping cream to achieve stiff peaks.
