• 
6 (2 ½-inch or 6 cm) round chocolate wafers
• 
1 cup (250 mL) fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. In a large microwaveable bowl, place ⅓ cup (80 mL) half-and-half.
2. Sprinkle gelatin over and stir to mix; set aside to allow gelatin to soften for 5 minutes.
3. Microwave on high until bubbles appear, 30 to 60 seconds.
4. Add chocolate chips and stir until smooth then stir in remaining half-and-half.
5. Cover and refrigerate until the mixture starts to set, 20 to 30 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, line 6 muffin cups with paper or silicone cupcake liners; place a chocolate wafer in each, crush to fit; set aside.
7. With an electric mixer, beat the chocolate mixture until smooth and fluffy. Fold blueberries into mousse.
