Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Make the Oreo Crumbles
In a bowl, combine 15 ground Oreos with 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow it to cool, then break any large clumps into smaller pieces.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, add 16 oz (452g) of room temperature cream cheese and 1 cup (104g) of sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of natural unsweetened cocoa powder and mix again until combined. Add 4 tablespoons of Baileys Irish Cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt; mix until smooth. Set aside.
Make the Whipped Cream
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (300ml) of cold heavy whipping cream, 3 tablespoons of Baileys Irish Cream, 3 tablespoons of natural unsweetened cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Trifles
Divide half of the cookie crumbs evenly among four cups or jars, spreading them into an even layer at the bottom. Spoon or pipe an even layer of the cheesecake filling on top of the cookie crumbs, using about half of the filling. Follow with a layer of whipped cream on top of the cheesecake filling. Divide the remaining cookie crumbs among the cups, layering them on top of the whipped cream. Reserve a bit for garnish if desired. Add the remaining cheesecake filling on top of the cookie crumbs, distributing it evenly. Top each trifle with a swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with additional cookie crumbs, if desired.

Refrigerate the trifles until ready to serve. For the best flavor and texture, enjoy them within 2-3 days.
