# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine Oreo crumbs with melted butter and stir until well incorporated. Spread mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
02 -
Bake for 8-10 minutes, then allow to cool completely. Break any large clumps into smaller pieces with your fingers and set aside.
03 -
In a large mixer bowl, blend cream cheese and sugar until smooth and well combined. Add cocoa powder and mix thoroughly. Incorporate Baileys, vanilla extract and salt, mixing until smooth and homogeneous. Set aside.
04 -
In a separate large mixer bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, Baileys, cocoa powder, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
05 -
Divide half of the cookie crumbs evenly between four serving cups or jars, creating an even layer at the bottom. Pipe or spoon about half of the cheesecake filling on top of the crumbs, distributing evenly among all four vessels.
06 -
Pipe or spoon a layer of whipped cream over the cheesecake filling in each cup. Distribute remaining cookie crumbs evenly on top of the whipped cream, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
07 -
Add remaining cheesecake filling on top of the cookie crumbs, dividing equally between the four cups. Finish each trifle with a decorative swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of reserved cookie crumbs.
08 -
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Best enjoyed within 2-3 days for optimal texture, as Oreo crumbs will gradually soften over time.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Store trifles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, covered tightly with jar lids or plastic wrap.
