This Baileys red velvet cupcake mousse dessert is the absolute DREAM!

When I heard that Baileys released a limited addition Red Velvet Cupcake flavour, I knew that I had to make something with it. I mean really; cupcakes + Baileys MUST = love, right? Anyway, needless to say, I was pumped. I decided to go with a spiked chocolate mousse for this particular occasion and trust me when I say that this recipe did NOT disappoint. If you’re a fan of mousse desserts, run to your local liquor store and purchase a bottle of this pink magic immediately. Also, the recipe only uses ¾ cup of the Red Velvet Cupcake Baileys, so you’ll have lots left over to enjoy in liquid form as well.
