Bailey's Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

2 tsp. unflavored gelatin
2 Tbsp. cold water
¼ c. boiling water
½ c. sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder (for a more intense chocolate flavor, add 1 additional Tbsp.)
1½ c. heavy cream, very cold
½ c. Bailey's, very cold
1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions:

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.
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.
