Chocolate Mousse is a classic dessert, but most of us never make it. Here’s a recipe for a thick chocolate mousse that you can serve at your next dinner party. But it’s so quick and easy, you might want to make it for dessert tonight!

One Minute Chocolate Mousse

1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla flavoring

1 cup of heavy cream

Place the chocolate chips, egg and vanilla flavoring in the blender. (You can also use a food processor.) In a saucepan, scald the heavy cream until little bubbles form around the edges. Do not boil the cream. With the blender running, pour in the hot cream and blend for one minute, or until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour the mouse into four individual serving dishes. Cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for several hours until set. Serve with whipped cream.

The hot cream should cook the egg, but remember the USDA warns against eating raw eggs. Use your own judgement.

You can substitue any appropriate liqueur for the vanilla flavoring, such as Amaretto, Kahlua or Grand Marnier.

Enjoy!
