Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk for thinning if necessary
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and sifted powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and stir well.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the cream. The mixture should be smooth and well combined.
- If the mousse is too thick, add milk gradually until desired consistency is achieved. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
- Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 25 minutes to set before serving.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings for garnish.
Notes
Tip 1: Ensure the heavy cream is very cold for optimal whipping.
Tip 2: The mousse can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
Variation: For a twist, add a tablespoon of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture for a mocha flavor.
