Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup milk (or non-alcoholic Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer for added flavor)
For the Whipped Cream:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (or non-alcoholic Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer)
For Garnish (optional):
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a trifle dish or individual serving glasses. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set. - Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk or non-alcoholic creamer. Continue to beat until well combined. - Make the Whipped Cream:
In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and milk (or non-alcoholic creamer) until stiff peaks form. - Assemble the Trifle:
Layer half of the Oreo crust in the bottom of the trifle dish or glasses. Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Add half of the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake layer. Repeat the layers with the remaining Oreo crust, cheesecake filling, and whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. - Chill:
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
