Tranfer mixture to saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until it registers 160 degrees on instant-read thermometer. Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl an stir in vanilla.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler, stirring frequently. Whisk custard into chocolate until smooth, then cool.
Beat remaining 1 - 1/4 cup cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks. Whisk one fourth of cream into chocolate custard to lighten, then fold in remaining cream gently but thoroughly.
Spoon mousse into 8 (6 ounce) stemmed glasses or ramekins and chill covered, at least 6 hours. Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream.
