Desserts
Looking for a delicious but easy dessert to serve this St. Patty’s Day? Trifles are a great choice since they are visually lovely and very forgiving. The cake can be made up to a day in advance, but be sure to hold off on making the whipped cream (and layering!) until the day you want to serve it.
This delicious trifle combines rich chocolate cake pieces with creamy whipped cream made with Bailey’s Irish Cream. The flavor of the whipped cream is subtle, but definitive – no overpowering liquor taste here.
If you want to skip the liquor though, try the mint variation below. With pretty layers and a delicious mix of flavors, this is sure to dazzle your guests, whichever version you make.
Bailey’s Whipped Cream Trifle
serves 8-10
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 individual serving instant coffee mix (such as one packet of Starbucks Via)
4 cups heavy cream
½ cup confectioner’s sugar
3 tbsp Bailey’s Irish Cream
½ cup mini chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Prepare the batter according to package directions, adding the instant coffee mix with the dry ingredients. Bake as directed. Let cool completely, and then cut into 1 inch by 1 inch pieces. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar and Bailey’s Irish Cream. Using the whisk attachment, beat the mixture on medium until soft peaks form. You may need to stir once toward the end to ensure that all the cream reaches soft peak stage.
3. In a glass trifle bowl, spread 1/3 of the whipped cream then ½ of the cake pieces. Repeat, ending with the third layer of whipped cream. Top with the mini chocolate chips.
4. Serve chilled.
Variations:
Kid-Friendly Mint Trifle
Eliminate the Bailey’s Irish Cream. Add 1 tsp peppermint extract to the whipped cream. Prepare as directed.
Raspberry Bailey’s Whipped Cream Trifle
Want to add another layer to the mix? Sprinkle two cups of fresh raspberries between the layers of cake and whipped cream.
