Pretty Easy Chocolate Mousse
1 tsp unflavored gelatin
1 tbsp cold water
2 tbsp boiling water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa (unsweetened)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup heavy cream
Sprinkle gelatin over cold water, stir, let stand 1 minute. Add boiling water, stir until clear.
Mix together sugar and cocoa; add cream and vanilla. Beat until peaks are stiff. Fold into gelatin, adding a small amount first and then adding the rest. Chill.
White Velvet Mousse
Now for the yum, white velvet, my favorite topping is fresh raspberrries, but any fresh berry is good.
1 pkg. unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
2-1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups sour cream
Dissolve gelatin in water in saucepan. Add cream and sugar, heat until gelatin has blended and sugar dissolved.
Cool a bit; add vanilla and sour cream. Chill until firm.
Top with fruit. I've also heard this called Russian Cream. A great summer treat!
