Instructions
- Stir together the sugar and gelatin in a small saucepan; stir in the milk. Let stand 2 minutes to soften the gelatin. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat. Immediately add the Mini Chips and stir until melted. Stir in liqueur or vanilla; cool to room temperature.
- Beat the whipping cream in a small bowl on high speed until stiff. Gradually fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream. Spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate before serving. Garnish with additional sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
Optional Foil Collars
For high-standing mousse, prepare collars for two parfait glasses. Tear a strip of foil long enough to go around the top of each glass. Fold the foil lengthwise into fourths, butter one side lightly, and place it buttered-side in; tape to the sides of the glasses. Pour mousse into the glasses so it rises above the rims. After the mousse sets, carefully remove the foil collars.
