This is another dead simple chocolate dessert. It is made with a Dutch chocolate mint liqueur called Vandermint. I have never substituted a different chocolate mint liqueur or other liqueur in this recipe so I do not know how they it would turn out. I got this recipe from a little booklet that came with the bottle of liqueur. This is the recipe in my own words.

Vandermint Mousse
Ingredients:
6 oz Package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup Hot (but not boiling) Vandermint liqueur
1 cup Sweet Butter, cut in pieces
4 Egg yolks
4 Egg whites; beaten until stiff
2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
1/2 pint or 1 Cup Heavy cream; whipped
Vanilla
Sugar
Bittersweet chocolate; shaved

Directions:
Combine in a blender or food processor the first 2 ingredients. Add the second 2 ingredients. Remove to a large bowl. In another large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually add the powdered sugar. Fold in the Vandermint/chocolate mixture. Pour the mousse into a souffle dish, trifle bowl or individual souffle dishes and chill until firm.
To serve, you may cover with extra whipped cream which has been sweetened and flavored with vanilla, and top with grated bittersweet chocolate.

My note:
Use a food processor if you blender does not unscrew at the bottom otherwise it can be difficult to get all the chocolate out from the blades.
