Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse

Indulge in a rich and creamy Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse that combines the luscious flavors of dark chocolate with a smooth, boozy twist. Perfect for an elegant dessert or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 100ml Baileys Irish Cream
  • 300ml heavy cream
  • 50g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the dark chocolate gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the vanilla extract and Baileys Irish Cream until combined.
  3. Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking to avoid curdling.
  4. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  5. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks are achieved.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, then gently fold in the egg whites until the mousse is fully combined and airy.
  7. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.
  8. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with shaved chocolate or whipped cream.

Notes

For an extra touch, sprinkle grated nutmeg or cocoa powder on top before serving, or serve with fresh berries for added freshness.
