Make the Whipped Cream:
🍶 In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and Baileys until stiff peaks form.

Tips
🍪 You can use other chocolate cookies, like chocolate graham crackers, for the crust.
☕ If you don’t have Baileys, you can substitute it with another coffee liqueur or simply omit it.
🍫 For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
🍶 If you don’t have a trifle dish, you can use individual serving glasses or even mason jars.
Enjoy your decadent Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle.
