Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 8 oz Bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Instant espresso powder
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Caramel sauce
- 20 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping)
- 2 tbsp Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp Caramel drizzle (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Slowly add the melted and cooled bittersweet chocolate to the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract and espresso powder until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cheesecake mixture until light and fluffy. Set the mixture aside.
Prepare the caramel sauce by slightly warming it in the microwave or on the stovetop if it is too thick to drizzle.
In a trifle dish (or individual dessert glasses), begin assembling the layers. Start with a layer of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies at the bottom.
Add a layer of the chocolate cheesecake mixture, spreading it evenly over the cookies.
Drizzle a thin layer of caramel sauce over the chocolate cheesecake layer.
Repeat the layering process (cookies, chocolate cheesecake mixture, caramel sauce) until the trifle dish is full, ending with a cheesecake layer on top.
Top the trifle with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings and a caramel drizzle, if desired.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy this luxurious dessert!
