Ingredients
  

  • 24 cookies Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream or sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Trifle dish or individual serving glasses
  • Food processor or zip-top bag

Method
 

  1. Crush the Oreo cookies until fine and mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand; press this mixture into the bottom of a trifle dish.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, then sift in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder; add vanilla, salt, and Baileys (or sweetened condensed milk) and mix until fluffy.
  3. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the crust, followed by half of the whipped cream; repeat the layers and finish with a layer of whipped cream on top.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies. Consider using vegan cream cheese and coconut cream for a dairy-free option. Make ahead: prepare the crust and cheesecake filling a day in advance and assemble with whipped cream just before serving for the best texture. To decorate, consider adding chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top before serving.
