Easy Chocolate Mousse-Like Dessert image

I've refrained from calling it a mousse because I know mousse connoisseurs will claim "there's no eggs, it's not a mousse!" But it comes out rich and velvety like any real mousse. A note about the portions: I said it makes enough for four, but I used martini glasses to serve it in and it didn't quite fill them as much as I would have liked. So depending on the size of what you're using to serve the mousse-like dessert in, you might want to make sure you have enough whipped cream to add some on top. It also tends to be a bit rich, so you may be happy with smaller portions, also. From the Hersheys website.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Place marshmallows, milk and cocoa into a small pot over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly and make sure the marshmallows don't burn to the bottom of the pot until marshmallows have completely melted.
  • Add chocolate chips slowly, whisking continuously until chocolate chips have melted.
  • Stir in vanilla. Set aside and let cool, whisking occasionally to prevent formation of a skin.
  • In a medium bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff; fold into cooled chocolate mixture.
  • If desired, fold in chocolate chips. Spoon into dessert bowls, wine glasses or martini glasses and freeze for several hours or until firm.
