Melt chocolate, Irish cream and espresso over low heat.
In separate pan, simmer sugar and water until temperature on a candy thermometer reaches 224 to 230\u00b0F., soft ball stage. (Remove from heat at 224\u00b0F; mixture will begin to caramelize at 232\u00b0F.).
Whip egg whites until stiff and glossy. Add sugar syrup to whites and continue to whip about 8 minutes until eggs have increased in volume and mixture has cooled; fold into chocolate mixture.
Whip heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Mix with chocolate mixture/eggs/sugar syrup mixture.
Pour mousse into molds or serving dish. Allow to set in fridge. Garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh seasonal berries.
