Chocolate Mousse with Strawberries

Just in time for Valentine's Day, treat yourself to a luxurious dessert, with simple ingredients and very few steps.

Don't stress yourself out with dessert! Use what's accessible. This dessert can be made more complicated by making your own whipped cream, but to make it simple, use Cool Whip! It has great consistency. You may also make this dessert a little more figure friendly by incorporating sugar free whipped topping and using the bittersweet instead of semi-sweet chocolate.

Serving Size: 6-1/2 cup servings

Ingredients:

4 Squares Bakers Bittersweet Chocolate (recommended if using sugar free whipped cream),

*Variations-Bakers Semi-Sweet Chocolate for a sweeter chocolate taste

1 8oz container of Cool Whip or whipped topping of choice (Regular or Sugar Free)

1/2 cup of fresh strawberries

Heat chocolate until melted, either over double boiler or in microwave in 30-45 second increments. Stir frequently until melted, which ever method you use. Once chocolate has melted, allow to cool for 3-5 minutes. Fold whipped topping into chocolate until all white streaks are gone and all is blended. Remember to fold do not stir; otherwise you will remove the air from the cream and you won't have that mousse like consistency. Chill for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Top with whipped topping and fresh sliced strawberries.
