Description

This mouth watering dessert may not be green, but it would be the perfect one for St. Patrick's Day, or any holiday for that matter. It's fluffy, light, sweet and just perfect.

Ingredients

• 2 t. unflavored gelatin
• 2 T. cold water
• 1/4 c. boiling water
• 1/2 c. sugar
• 2 T. cocoa powder (for a more intense chocolate flavor, add 1 more T.)
• 1 1/2 c. heavy cream, very cold
• 1/2 c. Baileys Irish Cream, very cold
• 1 t. vanilla

Steps

1. First, prep bowl and beaters by placing in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to chill.
2. After the bowl and beaters are chilled, sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl; stir; let stand 1 minute to soften. Add boiling water; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Let stand to cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar and cocoa; 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.
