<p><a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/baileys-irish-cream/amp/">Baileys Irish Cream</a> Chocolate Mousse is deliciously decadent with an incredibly airy texture. Chocolate mousse is one of my favourite desserts, it&#8217;s indulgent but still feels very lightweight. It&#8217;s perfect if you&#8217;ve just had a heavy meal but still craving a treat afterwards. The <a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/baileys-irish-cream/amp/">Baileys Irish Cream</a> takes it to another level of goodness, adding a little kick to it without overwhelming the flavour of the chocolate. You can find the recipe to make your own homemade Baileys by clicking <a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/baileys-irish-cream/amp/">here</a>.<a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/creams/baileys-chocolate-mousse/#recipejump/amp/"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-2155" src="https://thesweetbalance.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Jump-to-recipe-300x93.png" alt="Jump to recipe" width="129" height="40"></a></p>
<p>If you want an alcohol-free chocolate mousse, you can simply omit the Baileys from the recipe. However, since I came up with this recipe for St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, I&#8217;m totally spiking mine with some <a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/baileys-irish-cream/amp/">Irish Liquor</a>. Having said that, you don&#8217;t need to wait until the 17th of March to enjoy this, and I definitely won&#8217;t. ;)</p>

<h6>How to make Chocolate Mousse</h6>
<p>The recipe is made up of only 8 ingredients. It is also very <a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/quick-easy/amp/">quick and easy</a> to make and requires <a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/no-bake/amp/">no baking</a>. You can whip up a batch of 6 servings in just around 15 minutes. Then, refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour and you can dig in. However, they are even better if you leave them in the fridge overnight and became a lot more airy and bubbly.</p>
<p>The trick in getting that texture is making a stable Swiss Meringue and then folding it into the rest of the mixture. Take a look at the amazing texture in the photo below. If that&#8217;s not the most inviting <a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/baileys-irish-cream/amp/">Baileys Irish Cream</a> Chocolate Mousse, then I don&#8217;t know what is.</p>

<p>Whether you&#8217;re making these to celebrate St. Patrick&#8217;s Day or just a regular Sunday treat, I&#8217;m sure you will love them.</p>
<p>As always, let me know if you make this, I&#8217;d love to see! <a name="recipejump"></a></p>
<p>Happy indulging,</p>
