Mousse without eggs or fuss? This super-quick mousse relies on melted marshmallows for its airy texture. For a whimsical garnish, top mousse with a few toasted mini-marshmallows.

Instructions

1.

Melt marshmallows and chocolate: Combine milk, marshmallows, and chocolate in medium saucepan over low heat, whisking constantly, until marshmallows and chocolate are melted. Pour into medium bowl and set bowl over larger bowl of ice water. Let stand, whisking often, until mixture is cool and thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.

2.

Beat cream: Using electric mixer, beat cream and vanilla in bowl until cream just holds stiff peaks.

3.

Finish mousse and chill: Fold chocolate mixture into whipped cream, leaving a few streaks. Spoon into dessert cups or goblets and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days.
