Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
• ½ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• ⅔ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream, Chilled
• 1 Tbs Powdered Sugar
• ¼ tsp Vanilla Extract

Prep Steps:

1: Put mixer beaters and the mixing bowl for the whipped cream in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to whip the cream.

Steps:

1: Put chocolate chips and ½ cup cream in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave on high in 20-second increments, stirring between each session, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.   
2: Set aside and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally — about 15 minutes.   
3: Beat ⅔ cups cream with the powdered sugar and vinegar until stiff peaks form. Store in the refrigerator until the chocolate is cool.   
4: Using a rubber scraper, fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.   
5: You can keep it all in one bowl to allow portion size selection, or separate into separate serving dishes. Chill for about two hours.
