With Christmas now come and gone bellies full of turkey, grandad snoring in the corner on his favourite chair and the adults craving a sweet treat I've got the perfect indulgent Boozy Baileys Chocolate Mousse that takes no time whip up!
20 minutes in fact! Now if I am honest I'm not a major fan of the drink, to creamy for me it's just the texture, just like bananas, makes me sick, BUT a big BUT you create something so beautiful and magical with them, then I happily guzzle it up.
My mother is a big Baileys fan and being that I'm having guests in and out of the house over the festive period right through to New Years, I thought I'd make a little treat for them and I that we can all enjoy and have as our afters, or if I know you guys, a checky desert in the day.
Kids too can enjoy this, but you make their batch WITHOUT the baileys!
Ingredients
- 70% choclate (I used Green & Black's)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 75ml of baileys ( I should of went for 100ml)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tbsp of icing sugar
- 50g full-fat Greek yogurt
- handful raspberries
Time
20 minutes if that!
Instructions
- Break up the chocolate and put it into a large bowl that will fit over a pan of simmering water. Mix the cocoa, Baileys and vanilla with 2 tbsp cold water, and pour over the chocolate. Place the bowl over the gently simmering water, give it all a stir, then remove from the heat. Leave with the bowl of chocolate still over the water, stirring occasionally to check when melted.
- Stir the melted chocolate, it will be quite thick but do not worry. Stir in 2 tbsp boiling water and the chocolate will immediately become silky smooth. Leave to cool slightly.
- Whisk the egg whites to fairly soft peaks ( iahd to google what it would like lol! then whisked like a mad woman), whisk in the icing sugar until thick and glossy. Beat the yogurt into the cooled chocolate. Fold about one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mix using a large metal spoon, then very gently fold in the rest of the whites until they are evenly mixed in.. Spoon into 4 champagne glasses or small cups and chill for a couple of hours, or overnight.
- Top with a few raspberries, then dust with a little cocoa powder. Will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge.Enjoy.London Mumma xx
