Simple Chocolate Mousse

A simple chocolate-and-cream mousse for individual dessert glasses.

  1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of hot water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until smooth.
  2. Whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla to soft peaks.
  3. Let the chocolate cool slightly, fold it gently into the cream, spoon into four glasses and chill until serving.
