serving Baileys Irish Cream Mousse

Last Updated on 2021-07-09 by Linda

The perfect dessert for St Patrick’s Day, Homemade Bailey’s Irish Cream Mousse.  I love creating special desserts for every event. This one was easy and I found it in the LCBO Magazine.  I love to add my own twist.  This time I used Bailey’s Vanilla Cinnamon for a fun twist.
Getting creative using alcohol to make special treats.  That is my passion lately.  Tempting you with a Bourbon Mousse or maybe a variation of the Bailey’s Deserts.  The adulting way to celebrate.

How to Make Homemade Bailey’s Irish Cream Mousse

The ingredients are simple.  Decadent but simple, she says with a wink.  Honestly most of this you will have in your cupboard.  I also have tried just using vanilla not the vanilla bean and it still worked.


spoonful of mousse

  • 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 1/2 tsp gelatin
  • 2/3 cup Baileys Irish Cream ( this time I used Cinnamon Vanilla Baileys)
  • Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans

How do you Make the Mousse

The instructions are relatively simple to follow.  The hardest part for me is always working with the gelatin.  I think it makes me paranoid

the ingredients for Baileys Irish cream mousse

1) in small heavy saucepan whisk together 1/4 cup cream, the egg yolks and sugar.  Slit vanilla bean lengthwise and with the tip of the knife scrape the seeds into the pan ( save bean for other recipes).

2) cook the egg yolk mixture over medium low heat for about 8 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
3) in small glass measure sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tbsp cold water.  stand the measure in simmering water until gelatin dissolves ( 2 minutes)

4) whisk gelatin into egg mixture, combine well.  Add Baileys, pour mixture into bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

5) in medium bowl whip remaining cream until it holds stiff peaks ( save about 1/4 cup to use as topping, or mix a small amount seperately, I add a tad bit of baileys to the cream and whipped).Fold egg yolk mixture into whipping cream until no white streaks are remaining.

6) divide mixture into 4 dessert dishes, refrigerate for at least two hours and up to 24 hours. Garnish with whip cream and a coffee bean.
