“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 whipping cream
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* Whipped cream

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips with water over low heat; 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 mixing 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.
