Supremely Easy Chocolate Mousse

"Although cool whip can never take the place of whipping cream it can cut down the calories, make a very quick dessert and taste lovely as well. I served this in small dessert dishes with a very small piece of chocolate to garnish. Although I used milk chocolate, it could also be made with dark. The idea for this recipe came from Kraft."

  1. Was wonderful <br/>nothing else to say ,everyone loved it and was easy. I mixed one third of cw with chocolate and blended it good then added the rest of the cw ,that way it did not cool off to quick. This will go to our xmas party definitely. I used what was left over also. I thinly sliced a frozen pound cake and spread the mousse on thinly. Put it back together and thinly icinged the cake. Omg that was good. And it looked like it took forever and did not. Thanks! I have more than one chocolate lover in my family.

  3. Really light and delicious , and EASY! dessert :) I added doubled the amount of chocolate, but I'm a chocoholic lol. Thanks! Made this for ZWT4 for the Chic Chefs.
     
  4. Well, I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I could not get my melted chocolate to mix into the Cool Whip as nicely as the picture shows. It hardened into little flecks pretty quickly instead of being smooth. It happened both times I tried it. So I ended up adding 1/2 c milk combined with 0.5 oz of chocolate pudding mix, so it was at least a chocolate color. It still tasted good!! Thanks for posting!
     
  5. This is amazingly easy. I couldn't believe it tasted so delicious! This makes a quick chocolate fix and a great and easy dessert that will impress your guests. Thanks for sharing!
