Irish Cream Mousse Bites

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine the wafer cookies and melted butter in a medium bowl and mix well. Press the crumbs into an ungreased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake the crust until it is set, about 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, put half of the half-and-half into a small saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Let it stand for 5 minutes. Then add the remaining half-and-half and the sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the liqueur. Let this set until cooled, about 20 minutes.

Beat the whipping cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks start to form. Gently stir the cooled gelatin mix into the whipped cream. Mix until smooth. Pour this over the cooled crust and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.

To serve, cut into your desired size and garnish with chocolate shavings. Store refrigerated.
