Stags Breath Scottish Honey Whisky Liqueur

Stag’s Breath Dark Chocolate Mousse

Decadent dark chocolate spiked with our liqueur makes this an easy to make, and easy to eat dessert ready in less than 15 minutes. You could easily half this recipe to make less but it does store well covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
