So I bring you the recipe for Ghetto Chocolate Mousse
1 box of the shelf stable whipping cream from trader joes.
Some amount (1/2cup or so) chocolate chips.
Directions
Whip the cream until nearly stiff peaks.
Melt chips and slowly add chocolate to whipping cream until just incorporated.
Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate.
Bonus, use a rubber scraper to scrape any extra chocolate and swirl it into cream. It gets crunchy.
This is ghetto because while it was delicious it was a little too grainy to be called mousse.
The great thing about having little kids around is that I got to justify this as a learning experience. Andrew was seriously impressed watching the liquid cream grow larger and more solid.
But let's be real- I just needed dessert.

omg, this is my dirty little secret! Not your recipe, that is genius, but that I sneak around making junk food like macgyver! I have found that I am so embarrassed by this that having roommates helps. I tend not to want them to see me sink to my low levels of trying to make chocolate from cocoa powder. (but who am I kidding, having to sneak around to make my 'recipes' just makes me more sad and in need of more junk...)
