Then dissolve by stirring over very low heat (or dissolve in microwave for 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds). NOTE: If mixture gels before ready to use, liquify for 15 seconds in microwave. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in Baileys mixture. Set aside in refrigerator. In a double boiler, over, not in, boiling water, beat the egg whites and sugar with a hand-held electric mixer on high for seven minutes. Working quickly, fold in chocolate chunks so as to only partially melt chocolate leaving small kernels of chocolate. Fold into Baileys Original Irish Cream Mixture. Served in a Bailey Original Irish Cream & Orange Sauce: Whip cream until stiff; refrigerate. Cream together sugar, egg yolk, lemon and orange juice until a steady stream forms. Cook egg mixture in double boiler, whisking constantly until peaks form, then add Baileys Original Irish Cream. Continue cooking until thick; remove from heat and cool whisking over ice bath. When cool, fold together with whipped cream. Served with Almond Cookies Napoleon: Combine all the ingredients by whisking. Chill for 4 hours. Cook on buttered cookie sheets as flat, drop cookies (two heaping tablespoons each) for 3 minutes at 400°F. To Assemble: Place some mouse filling between two cookies and spoon orange sauce over the top, to taste. David Turin's grand prize-winning recipe was like a marriage. Something old and something new. He had been making Baileys mousse for several years, but it was the new sauce he created--just a day before the Dessert Heaven--that made his dessert a winner.
