Once the mixture comes to a boil, turn off the heat. Off the heat, add the vanilla and mix one last time.
Pour into 2 mugs.
Milk foam (optional)
Heat the milk for 30 seconds in the microwave then put it in a small pitcher. With an electric milk frother, froth the milk by tilting the pitcher, until you get a creamy froth.
Drop the mousse on top of the mugs using a tablespoon.
