Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup Baileys Irish Cream liqueur (for pudding)
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix, baked and crumbled (or 1 package chocolate wafer cookies, crushed)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup or ganache, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate cake layers according to package directions, let cool completely, and break or crumble into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup of Baileys Irish Cream until fully combined to create the cheesecake layer.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, cold milk, and the remaining 1 cup of Baileys Irish Cream until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. This creates the Baileys spiked pudding layer.
  5. Begin assembling the trifle in a large glass bowl or individual trifle cups. Start with a layer of crumbled chocolate cake or crushed cookies on the bottom.
  6. Spoon half of the Baileys cheesecake mixture evenly over the cake layer.
  7. Next, carefully spoon half of the Baileys chocolate pudding mixture over the cheesecake layer.
  8. Repeat the layers: remaining cake crumbles, remaining cheesecake mixture, and finally, the remaining Baileys chocolate pudding.
  9. Chill the trifle for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set.
  10. Before serving, drizzle the top generously with chocolate syrup or ganache. You can also garnish with extra whipped cream or chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • You can substitute the baked chocolate cake with store-bought chocolate fudge brownies or chocolate wafer cookies for a faster, no-bake option.
  • To make this recipe kid-friendly, replace the Baileys Irish Cream with an equal amount of chilled chocolate milk or strong brewed coffee in the cheesecake and pudding layers.
  • Prepare this decadent chocolate dessert a day ahead; the flavors meld together beautifully overnight.
