Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 120 ml heavy cream Cold.
  • 100 g dark chocolate Chopped.
  • 30 ml Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • shaved chocolate or cocoa powder Optional for garnish.

Equipment

  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 electric hand mixer or whisk
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 4 small serving glasses or bowls

Method
 

  1. Melt the dark chocolate: Place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until just melted and smooth. Let cool for 1 minute.
  2. Whip the cream: In the medium mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and salt with a hand mixer until medium peaks form. This should take 1-2 minutes.
  3. Combine: Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate and Baileys Irish Cream into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Combine until smooth and no chocolate streaks remain, but do not overmix.
  4. Serve: Spoon the mousse into 4 small glasses or bowls. If desired, top with shaved chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder.
  5. Enjoy immediately; for a firmer set, chill for 30 minutes before serving (optional).

Notes

Ensure the melted chocolate is not too hot before folding into the cream, or it may deflate.
Substitute milk chocolate for a sweeter mousse, or increase Baileys to 3 tablespoons for a stronger flavor.
Mousse is best enjoyed the day it is made but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
