Soften gelatin in a 1/2 cup Baileys Original Irish Cream for 5 minutes. 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.

Serves 12-16 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.
