Step 1
Melt the 6 oz dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whip 1.5 cups heavy cream with 0.25 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture. The mousse should be uniform in color.
Step 4
Spoon the mousse into 4 serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Step 5
Before serving, top each mousse with 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds. Serve chilled.
