Always one keen on adapting my recipes, I thought Kentucky Bourbon Chili Chocolate Mousse might be fun to try. Honestly, who doesn’t love chili chocolate? Well add some Bourbon and we have created a delicacy of the palette.
A couple years ago we were having a dinner party for St Patrick’s Day, I started searching for dessert ideas and came across the Baileys Irish Cream Mousse and a Chocolate Bourbon Mousse at the same time. Well, me being me, decided to make both, and then presented servings of both to all our guests. Both were a huge hit and became a must on the rotation list.
For some strange reason I had not made either in about a year when Kent asked me to whip up the Baileys for my Birthday, well that meant I had to then make this one soon after. A light chocolate dessert with a hint of ” Adult” in every bite. Fast forward a few years and I decided to up the recipe slightly and used a Lindt Chili Chocolate. it adds a slight bite. I also used some uber large wine glasses to serve and drizzled a dark chocolate to pretty them up.
