Decadent layers of chocolate mousse, cookies, and whipped cream. Perfect for a romantic dessert or a special treat.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups (296 ml) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup (59 ml) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 chocolate creme filled sandwich cookies
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) chocolate syrup
  • 2 T chocolate curls

Instructions

  1. Add cream cheese and powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium with a hand mixer until creamy.
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, add semi-sweet chocolate. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until melted.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate into the mixing bowl with the cream cheese.
  4. Add vanilla extract. Beat until incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat whipped cream on medium until stiff peaks form.
  6. Scrape the whipped cream into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
  7. Beat the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a disposable piping bag using a spatula.
  9. Add chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
  10. Add the remaining heavy cream to the same bowl. Beat on medium until stiff peaks form.
  11. Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the whipped cream. Fold until combined.
  12. Transfer the chocolate whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a 1M piping tip.
  13. Add chocolate creme filled sandwich cookies to a food processor and pulse until crumbs form, or crush them in a bag with a rolling pin.
  14. Add cookie crumbs to the bottom of two glasses.
  15. Add a layer of chocolate cheesecake mousse, followed by a layer of chocolate syrup. Repeat the layers once more.
  16. Add a swirl of whipped cream to the top. Sprinkle with chocolate curls or other desired toppings.
  17. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a richer mousse, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, spoon the mousse and whipped cream into the glasses; it will still be delicious!
  • Leftover trifle can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
