10. Ireland: Non-Bogus Baileys Mousse Pie
•1 pre-made or homemade 9-inch graham cracker crust
•1 envelope powdered gelatin
•1 cup heavy / whipping cream
•3 egg whites
•1/4 cup sugar
•6 fluid ounces milk
•3 fluid ounces Baileys
•2 teaspoons coffee crystals
•2 teaspoons cocoa
Blend the Baileys, and half the milk in a small bowl and set them aside as well.
In a small microwave-resistant bowl or saucepan, mix the remaining milk with the coffee crystals and cocoa: whisk until completely blended.
Whisk the egg whites until the soft-peak stage. Add the sugar tablespoon by tablespoon until stiff peaks form. Set the egg whites aside.
In another small bowl, whip the cream until firm. Set aside.
Heat the milk/coffee/cocoa mixture until just about to scald: or microwave until steaming hot.
When hot, sprinkle the gelatine over the surface of the mixture and whisk in until completely blended. Then add the Baileys and Milk mixture and continue to whisk together until blended.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and chill for at least several hours: overnight would be better.
