Method
 

  1. Melt the chocolate: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and ½ cup of heavy cream. Stir continuously until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Whip it up: In a large bowl, add the remaining ⅔ cup of heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until stiff peaks form.
  3. Combine: Once the melted chocolate has cooled, gently fold it into the whipped cream until fully combined and airy.
  4. Serve: Enjoy immediately for a soft, fluffy mousse or chill in the fridge for about an hour for that perfect, restaurant-style consistency.
