Easy Peasy Dream Whip Chocolate Mousse

Crocheting Mama's Note:

Posted for ZWT3. I tried this before posting it and it is so easy and so delicious. A classic French dessert and usually much more difficult to make - and the good news is, you don't have to wait for this to chill. I had some immediately after mixing and it was so good! You could also substitute any flavor pudding mix you wanted.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 (1 1/3 ounce) envelope Dream Whip topping mix (a powder mix, not Cool Whip)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups cold milk, divided (2%, 1% or skim recommended)
• 1 (4 ounce) package chocolate flavor instant pudding and pie filling mix

Directions:

1. Beat 1/2 cup milk, vanilla, and Dream Whip powder on slow speed just until blended. Then, blend on high speed for 4 minutes or until topping thickens and forms peaks.
2. In a separate bowl, pour remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and then add pudding mix.
3. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes (I beat on low speed about 1-2 minutes).
4. Stir in Dream Whip mixture.
5. Refrigerate until ready to serve. You can garnish with whipped cream or mint.

I have made this several times and every time it is a real treat. I do use sugar free pudding mix and skim milk. This was topped off with chocolate curls and fresh strawberries for a wonderful Valentine dessert.

This is very yummy! DD helped me make it and we fought over the results ;) We had to increase the speed of the blender to medium as it did not make peaks for us on low. DD (age 11) can make it herself next time - which makes her very happy :) Thanks taraph75!
