Instructions
- Whip softened cream cheese until silky and uniform, gradually incorporating powdered sugar and Baileys Irish Cream until thoroughly blended.

- Gently pour chocolate pudding as the next distinct layer, ensuring even distribution across the dessert.
- Repeat layering sequence of cookie crumbs, Baileys cream cheese, and chocolate pudding until the container reaches its capacity, concluding with a final Baileys cream cheese topping.
- Melt chocolate and artfully drizzle across the surface of the final layer.
- Refrigerate the assembled trifle for a minimum of 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and structure to set.
- Prior to serving, crown the dessert with an elegant swirl of whipped cream and an additional chocolate drizzle for visual appeal.
Notes
- Chill ingredients beforehand to ensure a smoother, more stable cream cheese mixture that blends effortlessly.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and create a silky, luxurious texture in the dessert.
- Select high-quality chocolate sandwich cookies for a richer base that adds depth and crunch to each spoonful.
- Adjust Baileys quantity based on personal preference, keeping in mind that a subtle hint works best for balancing flavors without overwhelming the dessert.
