Melt together dark chocolate and cocoa powder in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds or over a double boiler until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.

Whip the whipping cream and before it reaches stiff peaks add in the chocolate mixture and continue whipping until still peaks forms.

If topping with cream: Leave a few spoonful’s left of the cream to top the mousse with before serving.

Divide the mousse between individual dessert glasses or jars. Serve right away or cover and refrigerate until serving.

Before serving top with remaining whipped cream and chocolate curls or cocoa powder.
