Ingredients
Oreo Crumbles
- 15 Oreos, ground into crumbs
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (452g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (104g) sugar
- 4 tbsp (28g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp (60ml) Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Whipped cream
- 1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 3 tbsp (45ml) Baileys Irish cream
- 3 tbsp (21g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp (22g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter and stir until well combined. Spread the crumbs evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, then allow to cool. Use your fingers to break any big clumps into smaller ones. Set aside.
- To make the cheesecake filling, add the cream cheese and sugar to a large mixer bowl and mix until well combined and smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder and mix until well combined.
- Add the Baileys, vanilla extract and salt and mix until well combined and smooth. Set aside.
- To make the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, Baileys, cocoa powder, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- To make the trifles, divide half of the cookie crumbs evenly between the four cups or jars and spread into an even layer in the bottom of the cups.
- Pipe, or spoon, an even layer of cheesecake filling on top of the cookie crumbs in each of the four cups. You should only use about half of the filling.
- Pipe, or spoon, an even layer of whipped cream on top of the cheesecake filling in each of the four cups.
- Divide remaining cookie crumbs between the four cups and evenly distribute the second layer of crumbs on top of the whipped cream. You can keep a little bit of crumbs aside, if you want to use them to sprinkle on top of the finished trifles.
- Pipe, or spoon, remaining cheesecake filling on top of cookie crumbs, distributing evenly between the four cups.
- Top each trifle with a swirl of whipped cream and a few more cookie crumbs, if desired.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Best if eaten within 2-3 days.
Notes
Store extra trifles in the fridge for up to 3 days, covering them tightly with the lids of the jars or with plastic wrap if you used regular cups. Oreo crumbs will start to lose their crunch after awhile.
