## **History of Trifles & Baileys in Desserts**
The **trifle** originated in England in the 18th century as a layered dessert combining sponge cake, custard, fruit, and cream. Over time, variations emerged, including chocolate and alcohol-infused versions.

**Baileys Irish Cream**, introduced in 1974, quickly became a popular ingredient in desserts due to its smooth, creamy texture and rich whiskey-infused flavor. Combining Baileys with cheesecake and chocolate creates a luxurious dessert experience.
