Mousse is a real stable dessert that won’t melt or lose it’s bang-up texture if you lot linger also long at the table. That makes it bang-up to serve at parties or buffets. Mousse is also a terrific filling for cakes, trifles or layered with crushed cookies for a pretty parfait. Because it has a overnice rich sense of savor with enough of chocolate flavor, a niggling tin become a long way. For fun, piping Bailey’s Chocolate Mousse onto spoons or into miniature dessert bowls with fruit on the side; it’s a bang-up agency to serve a crowd. Since you’ll require to construct this dessert at to the lowest degree a few hours earlier serving, or upwards to a hateful solar daytime inward advance, you’ll accept to a greater extent than fourth dimension to finalize the balance of your menu. That makes this mousse a stress free, piece of cake to make, delicious dessert you lot tin serve with confidence!

 

The texture of a bang-up mousse tin vary greatly from recipe to recipe.

Some mousse recipes are made with egg whites providing the fluffiness, spell other exercise whipping cream. I’ve fifty-fifty read recipes that exercise neither too depend on a basic chocolate ganache whipped into a frenzy for a thick, rich, creamy dessert. Mousse is sometimes stabilized with softened gelatin but when chocolate is a large purpose of the recipe, it’s non needed. H5N1 few recipes also exercise egg yolks to add together a thicker, richer texture, similar a lite too airy pudding. For the healthier alongside us, I listen avocado mousse is pretty amazing too! After testing a few mousse desserts, nosotros cobbled together a niggling combat from several recipes too came upwards with a lovely, lightly sweet, fluffy too delicious mousse nosotros know you lot volition dear too! Made with both egg whites too whipped cream for loft too fluffiness, too egg yolks for a terrific creamy texture, this recipe is a winner!

 

Those niggling air bubbles give our Bailey’s Chocolate Mousse the dreamy texture you lot wish inward a bang-up mousse.

I propose using the best lineament semi-sweet chocolate you lot tin honor for this recipe. We tested with bittersweet chocolate too, but prefer semi-sweet inward this recipe. Also, whatever Irish Gaelic cream liqueur volition do, it doesn’t accept to hold out Bailey’s. We only hand to dear Bailey’s too had a bottle on hand. Feel costless to exercise your favorite lite rum, brandy or a bang-up orange-flavored liqueur also – it’s all good!
