Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in small bowl; stir and let stand 1 minute to soften.

Add boiling water; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Let stand to cool.

*Before preparing mousse, prep bowl and beaters by placing in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.*

Stir together sugar and cocoa in small mixing bowl; add heavy cream.

Beat at medium speed until stiff peaks form; gradually pour in Bailey's, vanilla, and gelatin mixture, beating continuously at high speed until well-blended and soft peaks form.

Spoon into serving dishes and place in refrigerator to chill. (*For a faster setting mousse, chill bowls before filling.)

Chill 1 hour or until ready to serve.
