Another favorite recipe using Bailey's Irish Cream. Chocolate Mousse is great, but adding a little Bailey's makes it decadent! I've had this recipe for years and can't remember where my friend got it, but I'm glad she shared.

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

16 ounces semisweet chocolate
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons brewed espresso or coffee

Sugar syrup

2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons water
1/2 cup egg white (about 4 eggs)
1 quart heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar

Directions

1
Melt chocolate, Irish cream and espresso over low heat.
2
In separate pan, simmer sugar and water until temperature on a candy thermometer reaches 224 to 230°F., soft ball stage. (Remove from heat at 224°F; mixture will begin to caramelize at 232°F.).
3
Whip egg whites until stiff and glossy. Add sugar syrup to whites and continue to whip about 8 minutes until eggs have increased in volume and mixture has cooled; fold into chocolate mixture.
4
Whip heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Mix with chocolate mixture/eggs/sugar syrup mixture.
5
Pour mousse into molds or serving dish. Allow to set in fridge. Garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh seasonal berries.

I made this for our dessert last evening and we enjoyed it to the last drop! Decadent flavors and really easy to make. Will enjoy again sometime when I have company so they can enjoy it with me! Kimberely

Get a grip JillyBean1026! It's a great recipe. There's only a few ingredients in a chocolate mousse, so I'm sure there's many similarities. Don't ever post a recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.. you'll sure get someone like yourself saying you didn't give credit to the original person! I wouldn't change a thing about this recipe. My guests loved it! I agree it's rich, but worth the calories! It was a great ending to my Irish-based meal!

DELICIOUS!! Served this to my mom and sisters and they were in heaven!! Also I agree thatJillybean1026 was out of line, you actually did say you got this recipe from a friend, and that you also have had it for years and cant remember where your friend got it. That comment was very rude and uncalled for.

I haven't made this but wanted to commen that Jillybean1026's rating is harsh. You clearly stated that you got the recipe from a friend. That doesn't mean you know where your friend got it. Lighten up, Jellybean1026 - this site is for fun.
