Rich Mint Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

* 1 1/2 cups cream
* 2/3 cup chocolate chips
* 1/2 tsp vanilla
* 1/2 tsp mint extract flavoring
* 1/8 tsp salt
* 5-6 fresh mint leaves

Preparation:

Heat together half of the cream and chocolate over low heat, just until chocolate is melted. Stir until smooth and creamy.

In a separate bowl, beat the other half of the cream until stiff. Beat in the chocolate cream until peaks form.

Spoon into individual serving bowls and garnish each bowl of chocolate mint mousse with one or two fresh mint leaves.
