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.

Steps:

• Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
• Mix together.
• Roll dough into balls and bake for 8 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and press a Hershey kiss into the center of each cookie.

Steps:

• Place 1 cup whiskey and 1/3 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has reduced to 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes. Remove whiskey reduction from the heat and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix espresso powder and 2 tablespoons whiskey together in a small bowl until espresso powder is dissolved. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Set both aside.
• Cream butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Stir in whiskey reduction, then whiskey-espresso mixture. Add dry ingredients in 3 batches, mixing until just incorporated after each addition. Fold in white chocolate. Cover the dough and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls of dough and place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are just set, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the sheets for 7 to 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom with shortening or butter and place a circle of parchment paper to cover the bottom. Lightly spray the tart pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pulse the sandwich cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. You should have about 1 3/4 cups. Combine the cookie crumbs with the confectioners' sugar, melted butter and salt in a medium bowl (or pulse in the food processor) until combined. Transfer to the tart pan. Press the crumb mixture evenly up the sides of the pan to make about a 1/4-inch-thick crust, then press the remaining crumbs into the bottom. (Use a flat-bottomed glass to press the crust tightly along the bottom and sides.) Place on a sheet tray and bake for 12 minutes until the crust looks dry. (It may puff a bit-that is OK.) Set aside to cool completely.
• For the filling: Whip the cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to medium peaks. Transfer the whipped cream to a medium bowl and refrigerate.
• Add the water to a small microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the top. Set aside to allow the gelatin to bloom and absorb the water.
• In the same bowl used for the whipped cream, whip the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar, Irish cream, vanilla and salt. Whip on low to combine. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, then whip on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and mix again if needed to smooth out the mixture.
• Melt the gelatin in the microwave in 10 second intervals, swirling the bowl after each. It should take about 20 seconds until it is melted and clear. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the hot gelatin and stir until smooth. Working quickly, pour the gelatin into the cream cheese mixture and blend on low to combine, then raise the speed to medium and mix until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 seconds.
• Remove the whipped cream from the refrigerator and use a spatula to fold it into the cream cheese mixture in thirds. Pour the filling into the cooled tart shell, smooth the top and sprinkle the gold sugar pearls over the tart. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 8 hours and up to overnight. You can cover the tart by inverting a large bowl over top or by placing the tart pan in a 10-inch or larger cake pan and covering the cake pan with foil.
• For the topping: Once the tart is completely chilled, put the softened cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and use a rubber spatula to mix until smooth. Add a couple drops of green gel food coloring and a splash of the heavy cream and mix with the spatula to loosen the mixture. Add the remaining heavy cream, Irish cream and vanilla. Secure the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium speed until medium-stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust the green color as desired.
• Finish the tart. Unmold the tart by pushing the bottom of the tart pan up and out of the ring. Slide an offset spatula under the tart to loosen it from the removable bottom and parchment and transfer it to a serving platter. Put the whipped cream in a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (or simply cut a 1/2-inch opening at the base of the bag) and pipe swirls of whip cream along the edge of the tart. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the whipped cream. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator up to 1 day.
