Baileys Chocolate Mousse in Easter Egg Bowls

Ingredients

Chocolate Bowls

Chocolate melts

Party balloons (not water balloons), blown up to a small ‘bowl’ size

Baileys Chocolate Mousse

150g dark chocolate

2 tbs whipping cream

¾ C whipping cream

1 large egg, separated

2 tbs Baileys Original Irish Cream

Extra whipped cream, chocolate chips or fresh raspberries to garnish

Instructions – Chocolate Bowls

-       Melt chocolate in a bowl set up over a pan of simmering water. Allow to cool slightly, then dip each balloon half way up into the chocolate.

-       Set chocolate dipped balloons on a tray lined with baking paper and allow to cool completely in the fridge.

Instructions – Baileys Chocolate Mousse

-       Put 2 tbs of cream and chocolate in a clean metal bowl. Melt over a pan of simmering water for a few minutes until smooth.

-       Remove mixture from the stove to cool just slightly, and stir in Baileys. Add the egg yolk to the mixture while stirring until combined and smooth. Place the bowl over the saucepan of hot water to keep the chocolate warm, but don’t turn the heat back on.

-       Whip the remaining cream until soft peaks form. Add half the chocolate mixture to the whipped cream with a metal spoon and fold until just combined. Fold in the remaining chocolate mixture, but be careful not to overmix. Set aside.

-       Use a clean electric mixer to beat the egg white until soft peaks form, then fold it into the chocolate mousse mixture.

-       Make sure mixture is completely cool, then spoon the mousse into the chocolate bowls, refrigerate for two hours.

-       Top with garnishes as desired!
