You will need:
For the cheesecake layers
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
4 tbsp Baileys
For the whipped cream and cookies
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
2 tablespoons Baileys
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar and cocoa together in a bowl until smooth. Add your Baileys and mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
2. Take another bowl, and whip heavy whipping cream, until it starts to thicken. Add Baileys, cocoa and powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
3. Third step is making the trifles. Divide half of the cookie crumbs evenly between the four cups and spread into an even layer in the bottom of the cups.
4. Spoon an even layer of cheesecake filling on top of the cookie crumbs in each of the four cups. Pipe, or spoon, an even layer of whipped cream on top of the cheesecake filling in each of the four cups.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
