Bailey’s Irish Cream Mousse

This Bailey’s Irish Cream Mousse tastes just like Irish Cream. You might want to keep this dessert away from the kids since it uses alcohol

One day my wife asks me to make something that would use up these chocolate dessert cups that were leftover from a previous recipe. Making a mousse was the first thing that came to mind. And since I still had a bit of Bailey’s Irish Cream left, it was a no brainer to make a Bailey’s Irish Cream Mousse!

The beauty with this mousse is that it is so versatile you can use it for many different kinds of desserts. As with all recipes that contain alcohol, be mindful that it’s possible that not all of the alcohol may burn off during the cooking process. You might want to keep these away from the kids just to be safe!
