My Recipes: Chocolate Mousse

This is a semi-homemade recipe using packaged chocolate pudding but makes this as easy as pie...

Recipe:
2 pkgs chocolate pudding mix (instant)
3 cups non-fat or 1% milk

2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla

fruit (for garnish, i.e., blueberries, blackberries or raspberries)

Combine the first two ingredients and set aside in the fridge for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, make whipped cream by combining whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a chilled bowl with a hand mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.

Fold small portions of whipped cream into the chocolate pudding reserving 1 cup of whipped cream.

In individual bowls or dishes, add chocolate mousse with a dollop of whipped cream and a piece of fruit garnish to top. You can also add shaved chocolate, a mint leaf or whatever inspires you. Delish!
