Baileys Chocolate Mousse Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Pour milk into a medium saucepan.
• Sprinkle gelatin over the milk and let it sit about 1 minute.
• Turn on low heat and stir until completely dissolved. About 5 minutes.
• Add chocolate chips and continue stirring until melted.
• Stir in vanilla.
• Remove from heat.
• Let sit about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add Bailey's.
• Let cool until peaks form when mixture is dropped from a spoon.
• Fold in whipped topping.
• Turn into prepared crust or serving bowls.
• Chill at least 4 hours. I know it's hard to wait, but it's worth it!
• Garnish with fruit or additional whipped topping. Enjoy!

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.

Steps:

• In saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatine over milk. Let stand about 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatine is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Add chocolate and continue cooking, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted: stir in vanilla.
• Remove from heat and stir occasionally, adding Bailey's about five minutes after removal from heat. When mixture forms mounds when dropped from spoon (this may take quite awhile to happen- don't give up), fold in whipped topping.
• Turn into crust. Garnish with more whipped topping (or real whipped cream, later, by preference) and strawberries (if desired). Chill at least 4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Line and grease the base of a 9 inch (23cm) spring form cake tin with the extra butter.
• Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
• Put the butter, sugar, egg yolks, Bailey's Irish Cream and melted chocolate in a food processor and 'whiz' for about 3 or 4 minutes until well mixed; transfer chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl.
• Whip the cream into soft peaks then fold it into the chocolate mixture; pour into the prepared cake tin and place in the freezer overnight.
• When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer; sprinkle cocoa powder and grated chocolate over the top of the cake to decorate and serve with extra whipped cream.
