Ingredients

  • 200g (7 oz) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

How to Make No-Bake Baileys Mousse

Step 1: Melt Chocolate

  • Combine chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl.
  • Melt gently over a double boiler or microwave in short bursts until smooth.
  • Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Whisk Egg Yolks & Sugar

  • In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale and thick (about 2–3 minutes).
  • Stir in Baileys and salt.

Step 3: Combine Chocolate & Egg Mixture

  • Slowly mix the melted chocolate into the Baileys-egg mixture, stirring continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 4: Whip the Cream

  • In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until smooth and fluffy.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

  • Spoon the mousse into glasses or ramekins.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours until set.
  • Top with whipped cream, chocolate curls, or cocoa powder before serving.

Expert Tips

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor
  • Make sure the chocolate is slightly cooled before adding it to the egg mixture
  • Add a dash of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor
  • Serve in elegant glasses for an elevated dessert look
  • Can be made a day ahead – just keep chilled

Storage

  • Fridge: Store covered for up to 3 days
  • Freezing not recommended, as the texture may change

FAQs

Can I make this mousse alcohol-free?
Yes! Swap Baileys with Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer for a non-alcoholic version.

Is it safe to eat raw egg yolks?
For safety, use pasteurized eggs, or substitute with a yolk-free whipped cream-only version.

Can I use white chocolate instead?
Yes, just reduce the sugar slightly to balance the sweetness.
