Frozen Milky Way Mousse - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 1/4 ounces Milky Way bars, divided
2 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
whipped cream (optional)

Preparation

Chop candy bars, yielding about 1 1/3 cups. Combine with 1/2 cup of
the cream and chocolate chips in a large bowl over a pot of simmering
water. Stir occasionally until mixture is melted and combined. Set bowl
aside to cool.
In another bowl combine vanilla extract with remaining 2 cups of
cream; beat until stiff peaks form.
Fold cream into chocolate mixture then pour 1/2 of mixture into a 1
1/2-quart freezer-proof bowl.
Coarsely chop more candy bars, yielding about 1/3 cup. Sprinkle over
mousse. Top with remaining mousse. Freeze until firm, 6 hours or
overnight.
Thaw slightly at room temperature before serving, about 10 minutes.
Chop remaining candy bars, yielding about 1/3 cup. Garnish with whipped
cream and chopped candy.
