BAILEY'S CHOCOLATE MOUSSE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° degrees F. Line a 9x9" light metal square baking pan with foil, extending the sides of the foil over the edges of the pan. Spray the foil with cooking spray; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Lastly, mix in the cocoa powder, salt, flour, and instant espresso powder if using until a soft batter comes together. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.
• Bake the brownies for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, but not wet, crumbs. Cool completely.
• For the mousse: In a small saucepan, combine the miniature marshmallows, chopped chocolate bar and 1/4 cup of Bailey's liqueur over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until everything is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and cool completely, about 10 minutes.
• After chocolate mixture has cooled, whip the heavy whipping cream and remaining 2 Tablespoons of Bailey's liqueur together on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes. Fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream mixture gently until no white streaks remain. Spread the mousse evenly over the brownies in the pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm and set.
• Just before serving, top the brownies with the ganache. For the ganache: microwave the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl or cup for about 30 seconds or until hot. Pour over the chocolate chips in a small bowl and let stand for about 5 minutes or until softened. Whisk until melted and smooth. Pipe or drizzle over the brownies. Cut into squares and serve. Store any leftover brownies in the fridge covered to keep the mousse from drying out.

BAILEYS CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a metal bowl (I use my kitchen-aid bowl). And set it over a pan of simmering water.
• Whisk the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 160 degrees (use an instant read or candy thermometer), it should take approximately 5 minutes. Whisk the entire time, being careful not to have scrambled eggs.
• Remove bowl from the pan of simmering water and place on your mixer and beat with the whisk attachment at medium - high speed until it is cool to your touch(on the outside of the bowl) and very thick. This should take approximately 10 minutes.
• While beating the egg and sugar mixture, melt your chocolate and cool to lukewarm.
• In a separate bowl, combine the whipping cream and Baileys together and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Pour the melted chocolate over the egg and sugar mixture and fold in until blended. Then fold in the whipped cream mixture. I will add a small amount of the cream mixture and blend it in (this will lighten up the mixture a bit) and then fold in the remaining until only streaks of white remain.
• Place in a bowl, cover with saran wrap and chill till set, overnight.
• Once set, it can be spread over a cake layer to be used as filling. Make sure you pipe a dam of your buttercream around the outer edges of the layers to prevent the mousse from being pushed out.
• This is also excellent served as just a mousse dessert.
