Balsamic Chocolate "Mousse"

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbs vanilla extract
1 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup chocolate chips

With an electric mixer, whip heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Then add sugar and vanilla. Add balsamic gradually-- taste it after 2 teaspoons and, if you would like, add a third to make the full tablespoon. It can be sort of a strong flavor. Mix until cream becomes light and frothy.

Microwave the chocolate chips until just melty and gooey (about a minute). Mix to be sure there are no lumps. With a whisk, mix the chocolate into the whipped cream mixture slowly. Mix until it is just combined and at a mousse-like consistency. Don't over mix this, or it will turn into something that resembles chocolate butter. Keeps in the fridge for a few days.
