Ingredients
  

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.

    Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; it should be light and airy.

      Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Use a spatula and fold in a figure-eight motion to keep the mixture airy. Make sure there are no streaks of cream left, but do not overmix.

        Chill and Serve: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or cups and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. You can also garnish with chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or fresh berries before serving, if desired.
