Soften gelatine in a 1/2 cup Baileys Original Irish Cream for 5 minutes.
Then dissolve by stirring over very low heat (or dissolve in microwave for
1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds). NOTE: If mixture gels before ready to
use, liquify for 15 seconds in microwave. Whip the cream until stiff peaks
form. Fold in Baileys mixture. Set aside in refrigerator.
In a double boiler, over, not in, boiling water, beat the egg whites and
sugar with a hand-held electric mixer on high for seven minutes.
Working quickly, fold in chocolate chunks so as to only partially melt
chocolate leaving small kernels of chocolate. Fold into Baileys Original
Irish Cream Mixture.

marriage…something old and something new. He had been making Baileys
mousse for several years, but it was the new sauce he created–just a day
before the Dessert Heaven–that made his dessert a winnger.
