Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams crushed chocolate cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 250 grams cream cheese, softened
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 60 ml Irish cream liqueur
- 300 ml heavy whipping cream
- 30 grams dark chocolate, grated (for garnish)
- 1 pinch chocolate shavings or dusting cocoa (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies with the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the base of serving glasses or a serving dish to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Gradually add the Irish cream liqueur to the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer or whisk.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and Irish cream mixture, ensuring a light and airy texture.
Spoon or pipe the filling over the chilled crust in your serving glasses or dish. Smooth the surface if necessary.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours (or ideally overnight) to allow it to set and the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, garnish the top with grated dark chocolate and optionally add chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa for extra elegance.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Elegant Irish Cream Dessert!
