Easy dessert to impress your family . . .

This goes together easily and looks like you fussed more than you actually did. It is easy to dress up with toppings, whipped cream, etc. Besides, it's chocolate! Deep Chocolate Mousse 2 cups heavy whipping cream 2 tablespoons sour cream 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon coffee liquer or brandy Place the whipping cream, sour cream, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and liquer in a mixing bowl. Whip at high speed until combined, smooth, and fluffy. Scoop into dessert bowls (small ones as this is rich!) and top with whipped cream. Ideas . . . Use an orange-flavored brandy for a citrus tang. Almond liquer is great, too. Top the final whipped cream topping with sliced, toasted almonds. A light powdering of cinnamon is good, too.
