Chocolate Cream Mousse

Here's a quick recipe that was the perfect choice for using up some melted, then crumbled, chocolate chips that have been sitting in the pantry for a while!

Chocolate Cream Mousse

Combine 1 cup mini chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla in blender. (If not using mini chocolate chips, process a bit to make them smaller.) Heat 3/4 cup milk in the microwave until steaming. Add to blender and process until chocolate is melted. Add 3 ounces cream cheese and process again until smooth. Pour into 4 dessert dishes and chill for 2 hours or until firm.

It will look prettier with a dollop of whipped cream, but by not waiting for that, you get this post sooner!

Note: We tried this again, and for some reason it didn't set up very firmly. This must have been the recipe we tried when we had the sister missionaries over one day and ended up serving Chocolate Soup. It's still delicious, just kind of soupy. Today I mixed it up before church, and then stirred in some CoolWhip afterwards. I'm adding this so I remember next time!
