Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) Baileys Irish Cream
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons (15 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons (15 grams) powdered sugar
Extracts and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth. Incorporate Baileys and continue mixing until fluffy and well-blended.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until volume doubles. Add Baileys, vanilla, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form and mixture becomes thick and stable.
- Crush Oreo cookies using a rolling pin inside a sealed plastic bag, creating fine, even crumbles.
- Transfer cheesecake mixture and whipped cream into separate piping bags, ensuring clean and controlled filling.
- Create alternating layers in lowball glasses: start with cookie crumbs, then add cheesecake mixture, followed by whipped cream. Repeat layering sequence for a second complete layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Attach an open star piping tip to the whipped cream bag. Pipe an elegant swirl atop each trifle glass. Garnish with remaining cookie crumbles for texture and visual appeal. Serve chilled for optimal flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Make cookie crumbs uniformly small by using a food processor for consistent texture and easier layering.
- Chill glasses before assembling to help layers set quickly and maintain crisp definition between each component.
- Substitute Baileys with coffee liqueur or non-alcoholic chocolate syrup for family-friendly version.
- For dairy-free adaptation, use vegan cream cheese, coconut whipping cream, and dairy-free Oreo-style cookies to create inclusive dessert experience.
