Black Velvet Mousse

1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp Black Cocoa
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
Place chocolate pieces in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, whisk together, sugar and cocoa. Whisk in 1/4 cup heavy cream, add butter, and whisk over medium heat until it just comes to a boil. Pour over chocolate and add vanilla. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla, to soft peaks.
Take a small amount of whipped cream and gently fold into chocolate mixture to lighten. Add remaining cream in a couple batches folding until even. Spoon into martini glasses, smoothing top to finish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
