Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 tsp unflavored powdered gelatin
- 1 1/2 Tbsp water
- 1 2/3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 3/4 cups heavy cream, ice cold
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 14 oz chocolate cream cookies, either homemade or Oreos
- gummy worms, as many as your heart desires (optional)
- gummy insects (optional)
- silk flowers (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the water in a small bowl and sprinkle the powdered gelatin over it in a single layer. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, bring the Irish cream and 1/4 cup of the heavy cream to a boil.
- Remove from heat and add the gelatin to the mixture.
- Stir until fully dissolved.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir, then let sit, covered, for about 5 minutes.
- Whisk until the chocolate melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the chocolate mixture half at a time, making sure the mousse is light and fluffy and fully combined.
- In a blender or food processor, grind the cookies until mostly fine, like dirt.
- Arrange 8-10 9oz clear party cups and fill each about a third with the mousse. Layer a spoonful of crushed cookies on top and repeat until you have three layers of each.
- Refrigerate until firm – between 4 and 6 hours.
- Top with fun things like gummy worms, gummy insects or silk flowers.
