This is reprinted without permission from a Hershey's Cocoa ad:

1 tsp unflavored gelatine
1 Tbs cold water
2 Tbs boiling water
0.5 cup sugar
0.25 cup Hershey's cocoa
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c. heavy cream, very cold

Sprinkle gelatine over cold water in small bowl; stir and let stand 1 minute
to soften.  Add boiling water; stir until gelatine is completely dissolved
(mixture must be clear).  Stir together sugar and cocoa in small cold mixer
bowl; add heavy cream and vanilla.  Beat at medium speed until stuff peaks
form; pour in gelatine mixture and beat until well blended.  Spoon into
serving dishes.  Chill about 1/2 hour. Yield: four 1/2 cup servings.
NOTE: to double recipe, use 1 envelope gelatine; double other ingredients.

It makes a good mousse, and really does take less than 10 minutes.
To go overboard, top with fresh strawberries.
