Boozy Chocolate Layered Dessert (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
02 - 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 1 cup powdered sugar
05 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream

→ Whipped Cream

08 - 2 cups heavy whipping cream
09 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
10 - 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream

→ Garnish

11 - Chocolate shavings (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Stir the mixture until it has the consistency of wet sand. Press the Oreo mixture evenly into the bottom of a trifle dish or individual serving glasses. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the crust to set.
02 - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and Baileys Irish Cream to the cream cheese mixture. Continue beating until everything is well combined, and the filling is smooth and fluffy.
03 - In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and Baileys Irish Cream until stiff peaks form. This will create a light, airy topping with a hint of Baileys flavor.
04 - Spread half of the Oreo crust into the bottom of the trifle dish or glasses. Top the crust with half of the Baileys cheesecake filling, spreading it evenly. Add half of the whipped cream over the cheesecake layer. Repeat the layers with the remaining Oreo crust, cheesecake filling, and whipped cream. Optionally, top with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.
