BAILEY'S CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
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.

Steps:
- Melt chocolate, Irish cream and espresso over low heat.
- 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.).
- 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.
- Whip heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Mix with chocolate mixture/eggs/sugar syrup mixture.
- Pour mousse into molds or serving dish. Allow to set in fridge. Garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh seasonal berries.
BAILEY'S CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE
This recipe comes from "The Ballykissangel Cookbook" which has been leant to me by my good friend Joan. Ballykissangel was a very popular gentle drama series set in the fictional Irish village of the same name. The cookbook is a collection of traditional and modern Irish recipes, created by Aidan Dempsey, who used to do the catering for the BBC film unit. This cake can be made in advance, frozen, then served straight from the freezer. The recipe states that this serves 4, but I reckon that that's a typo; this will be rich and even though the cake is not deep, a quarter of a 9 inch cake still sounds like a lot of cake to me! You will gather that this means that I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds super good and super easy to make; it would also be a good way to use up egg yolks if you have been making meringues. Cooking time is freezing time.

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a metal bowl (I use my kitchen-aid bowl). And set it over a pan of simmering water.
- Whisk the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 160 degrees (use an instant read or candy thermometer), it should take approximately 5 minutes. Whisk the entire time, being careful not to have scrambled eggs.
- Remove bowl from the pan of simmering water and place on your mixer and beat with the whisk attachment at medium - high speed until it is cool to your touch(on the outside of the bowl) and very thick. This should take approximately 10 minutes.
- While beating the egg and sugar mixture, melt your chocolate and cool to lukewarm.
- In a separate bowl, combine the whipping cream and Baileys together and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the egg and sugar mixture and fold in until blended. Then fold in the whipped cream mixture. I will add a small amount of the cream mixture and blend it in (this will lighten up the mixture a bit) and then fold in the remaining until only streaks of white remain.
- Place in a bowl, cover with saran wrap and chill till set, overnight.
- Once set, it can be spread over a cake layer to be used as filling. Make sure you pipe a dam of your buttercream around the outer edges of the layers to prevent the mousse from being pushed out.
- This is also excellent served as just a mousse dessert.

Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients, especially the cream and chocolate, are cold before starting. This helps the mousse set properly and creates a smooth, velvety texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will help incorporate air into the mousse, making it light and fluffy.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing can cause the mousse to deflate.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to set properly.
- Garnish the mousse with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or fresh berries before serving.
