Judy Spencer of San Diego, California treasures this recipe for rich mousse she learned from a friend. I love to cook and have tons of recipes, but this one is a favorite and always draws raves. Best of all, it's easy to make, she says. Ingredients:
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon water |
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 tablespoon sugar |
whipped cream, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with water; stir until smooth. Stir a small amount of hot chocolate mixture into egg yolk; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool, stirring several times.
2. In a small bowl, beat whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Fold in cooled chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnish with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 2 servings.
