Easy Chocolate Mousse

I'm a big fan of chocolate mousse! So when I saw we had cream left over from a recipe I made the other day (Spaetzle) I had to make some chocolate goodness.

I found a few recipes online for the same thing: Blender Chocolate Mousse. So I gave it a try.
Here's the recipe I used:

Blender Chocolate Mousse
7 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 C boiling water
1/2 C heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

Pour chocolate chips into blender. Add boiling water. Blend for 30 seconds. Mix the egg and vanilla into the cream just a bit. Add to the blender. Blend 15 seconds. Scrape down sides. Blend until smooth. Pour into dessert dishes and refrigerate until set.

I found it to be a little rich (honestly, most chocolate mousse is), but it was smooth and tasty!

(Sorry no pictures - I forgot and then soon it was all gone!)

So, does the egg get cooked thoroughly with the boiling water? I have issues with that!

Yep! The water is hot enough to cook the egg as much as it needs.
