📝 Directions:

Step 1: To prepare the Baileys chocolate mousse, heat 1 cup of heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until warm (but not boiling). Remove from heat, add the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth and melted. Stir in Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 2: For the whipped cream layer, beat 1 cup of heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Set aside.

Step 3: To assemble the trifle, layer crumbled chocolate cake, Baileys chocolate mousse, and whipped cream in a trifle dish or individual dessert cups. Repeat the layers until the bowl is filled, ending with a whipped cream layer on top.

Step 4: Garnish with chocolate shavings, a dusting of cocoa powder, or fresh berries. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Savor every bite! ❤️
