Heavenly Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle – A Dessert Dream Come True!

In a heatproof bowl, pour the warmed heavy cream over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Stir in vanilla extract and set aside to cool slightly while remaining pourable.

Make the Cheesecake Mixture:
Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Set aside.

Assemble the Trifle:
In a large glass bowl or individual serving glasses, begin by spreading a layer of crushed chocolate cookies at the bottom. Follow with a layer of cheesecake mixture, spreading it evenly. Drizzle some chocolate ganache over the cheesecake layer.
Repeat the layers: cookies, cheesecake, and chocolate ganache, ending with a final layer of ganache on top.

Add Whipped Cream and Garnish:
Pipe or spoon whipped cream generously over the top layer of chocolate ganache. Garnish with fresh berries and shaved chocolate for an elegant touch.

Chill Before Serving:
Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.

Serve and Enjoy:
Serve in individual glasses or slice into portions if using a large bowl. Enjoy the heavenly combination of chocolate, cheesecake, and whipped cream in every bite!
