Instructions

Step 1: Melt 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth; remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form.
Step 3: Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated.
Step 4: In a blender, puree 1 cup fresh sliced strawberries with 2 tbsp granulated sugar until smooth.
Step 5: In serving glasses, layer 1/3 cup chocolate mousse, followed by 2 tbsp strawberry puree, repeating layers until glasses are full; top with remaining 1/2 cup whipped cream and garnish with a fresh strawberry slice.
