Step-by-step
- Beat cream cheese, sugar and cocoa together in a bowl until smooth.
- Add Baileys and mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until it starts to thicken.
- Add Baileys, cocoa and powdered sugar and continue to whip 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 you kept some aside in step 8.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. I recommend setting them out for about 15 minutes prior to eating, so that they aren't too firm.
