- In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar (if using) until the mixture is well combined.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the bottoms of mini trifle glasses or small jars, pressing it down to form a firm base.
- Set aside.
2. Make the Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Add the melted chocolate, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract, and continue folding until well combined and smooth.
3. Make the Chocolate Ganache:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
4. Assemble the Mini Trifles:
- Spoon a generous layer of the Baileys chocolate cheesecake filling over the crust in each trifle glass or jar.
- Drizzle a small amount of chocolate ganache over the cheesecake layer.
- Repeat the layers of cheesecake filling and ganache until the glasses are filled, leaving room for garnish at the top.
- Top with a swirl of whipped cream (if desired), and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings.
5. Garnish & Serve:
- Drizzle a little extra Baileys Irish Cream over the top for a finishing touch.
- Refrigerate the mini trifles for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set.
