In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and granulated sugar together until thick and pale; set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat 3/4 c. heavy whipping cream on low-medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Very gradually add in the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly.
Return the mixture to the saucepan. Gently cook on low heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon or until it reaches 160F/70°C. DO NOT allow it to come to a boil or it will become scrambled eggs! Turn off the heat.
Immediately add the chocolate; mix until the chocolate is melted and incorporated into the mixture. Cool the mixture completely.
In a medium bowl, beat the remaining 1 1/4 c. heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
After the chocolate mixture has cooled completely, add Baileys; mix until combined. Add half of the whipped cream; fold until well combined. Add the remaining whipped cream; fold until well incorporated.
Pour the mixture into individual clear serving glasses.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving.
Serve, topped with extra whipped cream and shaved or grated chocolate.
5-6 servings.
