How to Make Bailey's Irish Cream Blueberry Mousse

  1. Chill six 8-ounce or 9-ounce stemmed dessert glasses.
  2. In a double boiler set over simmering water, whisk together the lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 large egg, 1 large egg white, 1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Cook, stirring continuously, for 12-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency. The custard should coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) of unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
  5. Transfer the double boiler to a large bowl filled with ice water. Stir occasionally until the mixture cools completely.
  6. In a clean, grease-free bowl, combine the remaining 4 large egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar.
  7. Beat with an electric mixer until soft, glossy peaks form.
  8. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  9. Gently fold a few spoonfuls of the meringue into the cooled custard to lighten it.
  10. Fold in the remaining meringue and 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries.
  11. Spoon the mousse into the chilled glasses and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until set.
  12. At serving time, garnish with the reserved blueberries (approximately 1/2 cup).
