CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

I'm making Triple Layer Chocolate Mousse cake, which uses the chocolate cake posted on this blog.  The only difference is the mousse, which I'm posting.  :)

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE:

-1 tsp unflavoured gelatin
-2 tbp cold water
-1/4 C boiling water
-1 C sugar
-1/2 C HERSHEY'S cocoa (doesn't have to be Hershey)
-2 C chilled whipping cream
-2 tsp vanilla extract


1.  In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let it stand 1 min. to soften.
2.  Add boiling water; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved and mixture is clear.  Cool slightly.
3.  In a large cold mixer bowl, stir together sugar and cocoa; add whipping cream and vanilla.
4.  Beat at medium speed, scraping bottom of bowl occasionally, until stiff peaks form.
5.  Pour in gelatin mixutre and beat until well blended.  Refrigerate about 30 min. before serving.
