Easy Faux Chocolate Mousse

1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese

2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup chocolate chips

Mix mascarpone cheese, whipping cream, and vanilla extract in a bowl.

Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.

Fold melted chocolate into the mascarpone cheese mixture.

Refrigerate until set, 1 to 2 hours.
