A rich and creamy chocolate mousse infused with the smooth warmth of Bailey’s Irish Cream, perfect for an indulgent yet quick dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170 g) dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Chop 6 oz (170 g) dark chocolate into small pieces. Melt in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly but not harden.
  2. In a chilled large mixing bowl, pour 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) cold heavy whipping cream. Add 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  3. In a separate clean, dry bowl, whisk 3 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Optionally add 1 tbsp sugar for sweetness. Whip until stiff peaks develop.
  4. Slowly stir 1/2 cup (120 ml) Bailey’s Irish Cream into the cooled melted chocolate until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently with a spatula to lighten. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream, followed by the whipped egg whites in two additions, using gentle folding motions to keep the mixture airy.
  6. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to set.

Notes

Use good-quality dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for best flavor. Chill bowls and beaters for better whipping results. Slowly add Bailey’s to melted chocolate to avoid separation. Chill mousse for at least 2 hours for best texture. Use fresh or pasteurized egg whites for safety. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and egg whites with aquafaba.
