Instructions
Add chocolates, mini marshmallows, and milk to a large, heavy saucepan.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and well-combined.
Remove from heat, and cool completely. This is key. If the chocolate mixture is still warm, it will melt the whipped cream.
In a large bowl, beat whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla together to soft peak stage.
Reserve ¾ whipped cream to top mousse for serving.
Cover, and chill reserved whipped cream until ready to serve.
Fold 2 cups whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture until well-combined.
Divide mousse among dishes, and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until ready to serve.
Serve topped with reserved whipped cream.
Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
Chocolates:
Please see the notes above the recipe for questions regarding substituting the types of chocolate.
Milk:
You can use any milk from skim to whole milk. Using whole milk will give you a richer, creamier mousse.
Whipping cream:

Sugar:
If you like sweeter whipped cream, increase the sugar to ⅓ cup.
