Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 /4 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate baking bar 60% cacao
- 2/3 /3 cup Irish Cream (like Bailey's) room temperature or lukewarm
- 1 tsp esperesso powder
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1/2 /2 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Whipped Cream: chill a mixing bowl and the beaters of a hand mixer in the freezer for 10-15 minutes for best results. Then, add the heavy cream and powdered sugar to the mixing bowl and beat for 6-8 minutes until medium-firm peaks form. Place the whipped cream in the fridge until ready to use.
- Create a double boiler for melting the chocolate by filling a small to medium saucepan with approximately an inch of water. Place a heat-proof bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring it does not touch the water. Bring the water to a low simmer, and place the dark chocolate in the bowl. Stir frequently until the chocolate is shiny, smooth, and completely melted.
- Slowly pour the room temperature (or slightly warmed in the microwave) Irish Cream into the melted chocolate. Add espresso powder, salt, and vanilla extract, if using. Use a small spatula or spoon to combine until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Fold three cups of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until completely combined, this will take approximately 15-20 folds until completely incorporated. Reserve the remaining whipped cream (approximately 1 cup) in the fridge until ready to top the mousse at serving.
- Transfer the mousse to serving containers either by spooning it into cups or use a piping bag to fill them to the desired amount. Cover and place in the fridge; let them chill for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight.
- When ready to serve, top with remaining whipped cream, and chocolate shavings or fresh fruit as desired.
