100 ml Baileys Original Irish Cream
200g good quality milk/dark chocolate
2 eggs, separated
25g butter
2 tbsp golden caster sugar
0.4 units per serve
Directions:
1)First melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once it's melted take it off the heat to save it burning. You could also melt the chocolate in the microwave.
2)Next melt the butter and add it to the chocolate along with the egg yolks. Stir until you've got a smooth, silky mixture.
3)In another bowl whisk the egg whites (use an electric mixer if you've got one) untill they form soft peaks. Add the sugar a little at a time and continue to whisk until the mixture is shiny and the peaks are stiff.
4) Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mix along with the Baileys. Then divide your mousse between four tumblers and pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours.
5) When your're ready to serve, whip up the whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks.
6) Add a good spoonful of whipped cream to the top of each mousse and decorate with crumbled or flaked chocolate.
