Ingredients:

• 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet recommended)
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for melting chocolate chips)
• 2/3 cup chilled heavy whipping cream (for whipping)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, microwave chocolate chips and 1/2 cup cream in 20-second intervals until melted and smooth. Stir well between intervals. Allow to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally (approximately 15 minutes).
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat 2/3 cup chilled cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to the refrigerator while the chocolate cools.
3. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
4. Spoon the chocolate mousse into individual serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For a softer texture, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
