Baileys Chocolate Brownie Trifle

A sweet and boozy Baileys Chocolate Brownie Trifle – filled with rich chocolate brownie, vanilla custard, whipped cream, Baileys Irish Cream, chocolate custard and salted caramel sauce! The perfect adults-only Christmas dessert… or late night sneaky treat!

We all love a good old classic trifle for Christmas dessert… but what about changing it up this year and making a rich and decadent adults-only chocolate trifle with Baileys Irish Cream!? Sounds pretty amazing right!?

15 Minute Baileys Chocolate Brownie Trifle

This super simple trifle recipe takes just 15 minutes to make!

The layers:

• chocolate brownie (use our favourite chocolate brownie recipe or buy a pre-made brownie from the supermarket – see recipe notes below)
• Baileys Irish Cream
• vanilla double thick custard (I used this one) – or substitute for Baileys custard
• chocolate double thick custard (I used this one)
• whipped cream
• salted caramel sauce (make your own using this recipe or use a store-bought version)

How To Assemble The Baileys Trifle

Step 1 – Crumble the chocolate brownie into the base of your serving glasses 

Alternatively you can make 1 large trifle using a glass bowl or trifle dish.

Step 2 – Drizzle over Baileys Irish Cream

The Baileys will soak into the chocolate brownie making it deliciously moist and boozy.

Step 3 – Layer with vanilla custard, whipped cream and chocolate custard

Step 4 – Drizzle over salted caramel sauce

Step 5 – Repeat the layers once more

Step 6 – Finish with a layer of chocolate brownie and a drizzle of salted caramel sauce

Tips For Making Baileys Chocolate Brownie Trifle

• Use a rich and dense chocolate brownie that crumbles into chunks easily (our 5 minute brownie recipe is perfect!)
• you can make this recipe as individual serves (like I’ve done in the photos above) or you can make it as 1 whole trifle in a large glass bowl or trifle bowl. 
• This recipe is best prepared on the day of serving. 
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.
• You can substitute the vanilla custard for Baileys custard (which is sold in the supermarket in the lead up to Christmas).
• You can use as much or as little Baileys as you like!
• For a kid-friendly version – simply omit the Baileys Irish Cream.
• Choose thick double custards as they hold the layers better than thin runny custard.
• You can whip your own cream or use a store-bought pre-whipped cream.
• This trifle should be kept covered in the fridge and consumed within 2 days.
