St. Patrick’s Day Baileys Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped
- 300ml thickened cream
- 100ml Baileys Irish Cream
- 2 egg whites
- Optional: Grated chocolate or cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions:
-
Melt the Chocolate:
- Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat gently over a double boiler (or microwave in short bursts, stirring in between) until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Whip the Cream:
- In a separate bowl, whip the thickened cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip—you’re looking for a smooth, airy texture.
-
Prepare the Baileys:
- Gently fold the Baileys Irish Cream into the melted chocolate once it has cooled slightly. Mix until well combined.
-
Whisk the Egg Whites:
- In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help add lightness to the mousse.
-
Combine the Ingredients:
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-Baileys mixture, one third at a time, being gentle so that the mousse stays light and airy.
- Once fully incorporated, gently fold in the egg whites, ensuring that the mousse remains fluffy and airy.
-
Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the mousse is set.
-
Serve and Garnish:
- Before serving, garnish with grated chocolate, cocoa powder, or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Optional Add-ins:
- Chocolate Shavings: Add some chocolate shavings on top for an extra touch of elegance.
- Fresh Berries: Pair the mousse with fresh raspberries or strawberries for a fruity contrast.
This Baileys Chocolate Mousse will be a hit at your St. Patrick’s Day celebration, combining creamy chocolate and the signature flavor of Baileys Irish Cream in each spoonful. Enjoy! 🍀🍫
