Light Cream and Chocolate Bailyes

It's actually more a clear recipe! I really have many clear frozen and walk a contract to get rid of them.
This time I tried to do a sort of chocolate mousse. It was quite good, and the fact that it does not take the same yolks very light. The touch of Bailyes also worked very well.

Ingredients for 4 people:

6 egg whites
6 tablespoons of cocoa powder
6 tablespoons of sugar or sweetener
2 tablespoons of Bailyes

Preparation:

Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer. Once you begin to rise, but are still in castle, combine sugar and chocolate, carefully stirring constantly. Also add the Bailyes and msiture again.
Divide the mixture in individual bowls and serve immediately. If it is not to serve immediately, store in the refrigerator and, before serving, stir with a wire rod and then put in individual bowls, this is normal because the light is starting to separate after some time of rest.
