FOR SAUCE: Combine whipping cream, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder and unsalted

parchment paper. Combine Milky Way pieces, semisweet chocolate, unsweetened
chocolate and unsalted butter in large heatproof bowl set over pan of simmering
water. Stir constantly until melted (mixture will look grainy). Remove bowl from

saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high, and
boil syrup until termperature reaches 230~ on candy thermometer. Meanwhile, beat
egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks in bowl. Gradually pour boiling
syrup into egg whites, beating until stiff peaks form and whites are cool, about
5 minutes. Using rubber spatula, fold whites into chocolate mixture in 2
additions. Beat chilled whipping cream and vanilla extract to soft peaks in
medium bowl. Using rubber spatula, fold cream into chocolate mixture in 2
additions. Spoon mousse into prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap & freeze

sauce to lukewarm over low heat. Remove plastic wrap from top of mousse. Invert
mousse onto platter. Remove pan and peel off parchment paper. Slice mousse
crosswise into 12 slices. Cut each slice diagonally into 2 triangles. For each
serving arrange 2 mousse triangles on plate; spoon warm chocolate sauce over and
