- 1 (15.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix, baked and cooled
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
- 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Cut the baked chocolate cake into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and Irish cream liqueur until well combined and creamy.
- In another bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mixes with the cold milk for 2 minutes until it begins to thicken. Fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- In a large trifle bowl, create a layer using half of the chocolate cake cubes. Spread half of the cheesecake pudding mixture over the cake layer.
- Add the remaining cake cubes to form a second layer, then top with the rest of the cheesecake mixture.
