Instructions:
-
Prepare the Base:
- In a saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiled, remove it from the heat and set aside.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar until well combined.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
-
Cook the Mixture:
- Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat for about 7 minutes, stirring constantly. Be careful not to let it boil.

Prepare the Gelatin:
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the gelatin in boiling water, ensuring it’s completely mixed.
-
Incorporate Flavors:
- Add the dissolved gelatin and Irish Mist liqueur to the warm milk mixture, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
-
Chill the Mixture:
- Transfer the mixture into a refrigerator-safe container and refrigerate for approximately 40 minutes, or until it starts to thicken.
-
Whip the Egg Whites:
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually sprinkle in the remaining caster sugar and continue beating until it dissolves completely.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Once the milk mixture has started to set, gently fold in the whipped cream and beaten egg whites until well incorporated.
-
Assemble and Set:
- Divide the creamy mixture into 8 individual serving dishes and return them to the refrigerator to set completely. This typically takes a few hours.
-
Decorate and Serve:
- Before serving, top each dish with a dollop of extra whipped cream and a sprinkle of grated chocolate for a luxurious finishing touch.
