Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 eggs, separated
½ cup white sugar
1 cup chilled heavy cream
3 ½ tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
8 ounces chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar with an electric mixer set on medium speed until pale, creamy, and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  • With clean beaters, whip the cream in a non-plastic bowl on medium speed until fluffy and the cream forms stiff peaks. Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the yolk mixture into the whipped cream. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining yolk mixture and then the Irish cream liqueur, folding just until incorporated.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate very gently on low power just until melted; stir to dissolve any lumps. Very gently fold the chocolate into the Irish cream mixture as before, keeping as much fluffy volume as possible. With clean beaters, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed in a non-plastic bowl to stiff peaks; gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until evenly incorporated. Spoon the mousse into individual dessert cups or glasses, and chill for 4 to 6 hours.

This mousse was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been lighter and fluffier.

I found this mousse to be a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred it if it had less sugar.

This mousse was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less chocolate.

This Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse was a real treat! It was so light and fluffy, and the chocolate flavor was rich and decadent. The Irish cream added a nice touch of boozy flavor that really took it over the top. I would definitely recommend this rec
