Name: Easy Chocolate Mousse
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (or bits, or mini chips, etc); 4 tablespoons hot water; 4 eggs, beaten (I use the pasteurized ones since the eggs won't be cooked); 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (to taste); 1 pint whipping cream, whipped very stiff with no sugar added

Usually when I say my grandmother, I mean my maternal one, but this is one of the few recipes I have from my paternal grandmother.  She died when I was a toddler but I sure do remember this mousse!  It really is quite simple to make and is delicious and elegant served with fresh berries of any sort.

Easy Chocolate Mousse

chocolate chips (or bits,

water

eggs, beaten (I use the pasteurized ones since the eggs won't be cooked)

Grand Marnier (to taste)

whipping cream,

Melt chocolate with hot water.  To melt completely, it may be necessary to place the bowl in a pan of hot water.

Yum!  This is light, fluffy, and delicious!  Based on other reviewers comments about it being too liquid, I left out the water altogether.  I also melted the chips in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds or so until they were completely melted.  I also substituted Bailey's Irish Cream for the Grand Marinier, we like both, but enjoy Bailey's more in mousse.  This will definitely be made again.  Made for ZWT6.
