So one day my wife asks me to make something so we can use up these chocolate dessert cups that were left over 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 an 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 not all of the alcohol may burn off during the cooking process.
