Note

Ensure the dark chocolate is completely melted and slightly cooled before folding it into the whipped cream mixture to maintain a smooth consistency.

For a stronger Baileys flavor, you can increase the amount of Baileys Irish Cream slightly, but be cautious as it may affect the mousse's texture.

If you prefer a sweeter mousse, you can use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.

To create a more intense chocolate flavor, consider using high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or more.

For an added crunch, you can sprinkle some crushed nuts or chocolate-covered espresso beans on top of the whipped cream garnish.

Make sure to refrigerate the mousse for at least an hour to allow it to set properly before serving
