Milk Chocolate Mousse
7 tablespoons whole milk
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 bars (1.5 ounces each) good quality milk Chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Make the mousse: Place milk, sugar, butter and vanilla extract in medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and bring mixture to gentle boil. Remove pan from heat and add chopped chocolate, swirling pan to cover chocolate with hot milk. Let stand for 3 minutes to melt chocolate. Gently whisk chocolate mixture until blended. Let stand at room temperature until cool.
Place heavy cream in medium chilled bowl. Whip cream until soft peaks form, using hand-held mixer set at medium speed. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture.
