Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse Dessert.
Step 1
To start, take a small saucepan and gently melt the chopped dark chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally until it’s smooth and silky.
Step 2
Once it’s melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, grab a large mixing bowl and beat the egg yolks until they turn a lovely pale and creamy color.
Step 4
Now, stir in the slightly cooled chocolate along with the rich Baileys Irish cream, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 5
Next, take half of the whipped cream and gently fold it into the chocolate mixture, being careful to keep it light and airy—no streaks should remain! In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, which will add a delightful fluffiness to your mousse.
Step 6
Now, with a gentle hand, fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture, taking care not to deflate all that wonderful air you just whipped in.
Step 7
Once everything is combined, it’s time to spoon this luscious mousse into your favorite serving glasses or bowls.
Step 8
For the finishing touch, top each serving with the remaining whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
Step 9
Now, sit back and enjoy the delightful creation you’ve made—perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to a little indulgence!.
