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

  • 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.

  • Top with whipped cream, chocolate curls, or cocoa powder before serving.

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.
