Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar with an electric mixer set on medium speed until pale, creamy, and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- With clean beaters, whip the cream in a non-plastic bowl on medium speed until fluffy and the cream forms stiff peaks. Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the yolk mixture into the whipped cream. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining yolk mixture and then the Irish cream liqueur, folding just until incorporated.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate very gently on low power just until melted; stir to dissolve any lumps. Very gently fold the chocolate into the Irish cream mixture as before, keeping as much fluffy volume as possible. With clean beaters, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed in a non-plastic bowl to stiff peaks; gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until evenly incorporated. Spoon the mousse into individual dessert cups or glasses, and chill for 4 to 6 hours.

Steps:
- Cream butter, sugars and egg until fluffy.
- Add vanilla and Bailey's Irish cream.
- Mix dry ingredients and blend into creamed mixture.
- Add chocolate chips.
- Drop onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
- Cool.
- Or don't cool. Just eat. :).
Tips:
- Choose the right cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream is best for Irish cream, as it has a high fat content that gives the liqueur a rich, creamy texture.
- Use real vanilla extract. Imitation vanilla extract will not give your Irish cream the same flavor as real vanilla extract.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with flavors. In addition to the traditional chocolate and coffee flavors, you can try adding other flavors, such as caramel, hazelnut, or peppermint.
- Let your Irish cream age for at least two weeks. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
- Serve your Irish cream chilled or over ice. You can also use it in cocktails or desserts.
Conclusion:
Irish cream is a delicious and versatile liqueur that can be enjoyed in many ways. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own Irish cream at home. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
