Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle: A Decadent Layered Dessert

Bake the Cake:

Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan or cake pans. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Cut the Cake:

Once cooled, cut the cake into small cubes, about 1-inch in size. Set aside for assembly.
For the Baileys Cheesecake Filling:

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Whip the Cream:

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy cheesecake filling.
For the Whipped Cream Topping:

Whip the Cream:
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Trifle:

Layer the Trifle:

In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, layer the dessert starting with a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom.
Add Cheesecake Layer:

Spoon a generous layer of Baileys cheesecake filling over the cake cubes. Repeat with more layers of cake and cheesecake filling until the trifle dish is full.
Top with Whipped Cream:

Finish the trifle with a layer of whipped cream on top, smoothing it out evenly.
Garnish:

Sprinkle shaved chocolate or cocoa powder over the whipped cream for garnish. You can also add chocolate chips or cocoa nibs for an extra touch of texture. For a final Baileys flavor boost, drizzle a small amount of Baileys Irish Cream over the top.
