Description

Make your honey an amazing, decadent dessert to show your love. You only need five ingredients and 30 minutes to make it and a few hours of refrigeration time to enjoy this rich homemade mousse.

Ingredients

• 4 egg yolks
• 1/4 c. granulated sugar
• 2 c. heavy whipping cream, divided
• 1 1/4 c. roughly chopped semi-sweet chocolate
• 1/2 c. Baileys Irish Cream
• more whipped cream and grated or shaved chocolate, for garnish

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and granulated sugar together until thick and pale; set aside.
2. 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.
3. 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.
