Ingredients 🛒
200g dark chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
3 large eggs, separated
50g caster sugar
200ml heavy cream
Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
Chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)
Instructions 🧑🍳
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the Baileys Irish Cream. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar, whisking until the mixture is glossy and holds stiff peaks.
In another bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
Gently fold the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, followed by the egg whites. Mix until well combined.
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings before serving, if desired. Enjoy! 🍫
