• active time: 30 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 teaspoons gelatin (unflavored)

2 Tablespoons cold water

1/4 cup boiling water

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 Tablespoons cocoa powder (for a more intense chocolate flavor, add 1 additional Tablespoon)

1 1/2 cups heavy cream (very cold)

1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream (very cold)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

*Before beginning, prep bowl and beaters by placing in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to chill.*

Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in small bowl; stir and let stand 1 minute to soften.

Add boiling water; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Let stand to cool.

Stir together sugar and cocoa in a large mixing bowl; add heavy cream.

Beat at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form; gradually pour in Baileys, vanilla, and gelatin mixture, beating continuously at high speed until well-blended and soft peaks form.

Let stand 5 minutes to thicken.

Spoon into serving dishes and place in refrigerator to chill. (*For a faster setting mousse, chill bowls before filling.)

Chill 1 hour or until ready to serve.
