Simple Chocolate Mousse

Chilling is additional.

  1. Melt chocolate in a bowl over hot water without letting the bowl touch the water. Stir until smooth.
  2. Whip cream with sugar and vanilla to soft peaks.
  3. Let the chocolate cool slightly, then fold it into the cream. Divide between four glasses and chill until serving.
