Ingredients
- 1 serving of Fat-free, Sugar-free Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
- 3/4 cup Plain Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Hershey’s Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup
- 2 tablespoons Cool Whip Lite, Dairy Whipped Topping
Instructions
Step 1: Mix Yogurt and Pudding Mix
In a small bowl, combine the plain fat-free Greek yogurt with the fat-free, sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix. Stir well until the pudding mix is fully incorporated into the yogurt and the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Step 2: Add the Syrup
Add 2 tablespoons of Hershey’s Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup to the mixture. Stir again until well combined, ensuring the chocolate flavor is evenly distributed throughout the mousse.
Step 3: Top with Cool Whip
Top the mousse with 2 tablespoons of Cool Whip Lite, which will give it a light, fluffy texture and an extra touch of sweetness. Stir gently if you’d like to mix it in, or leave it on top for a layered effect.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
This mousse is ready to enjoy immediately! You can either serve it straight away or refrigerate it for a few minutes to chill. Either way, it’s a delicious and creamy dessert that’s low in points but high in flavor.
Tips and Tricks
-
Make Ahead: This mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The flavors meld together nicely as it sits, and it makes a great make-ahead dessert.
-
Customizing the Flavor: If you want to add a little twist to the flavor, you can mix in a dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for an added depth of flavor.
-
Use as a Topping: This mousse also works wonderfully as a topping for fruit, pancakes, or even waffles. You can also drizzle some extra sugar-free syrup on top for an even sweeter treat.
-
Chill for Extra Creaminess: While the mousse is perfectly good right away, chilling it for about 30 minutes can make it even creamier and thicker.
Notes
-
Greek Yogurt: Using plain fat-free Greek yogurt adds a creamy texture to the mousse while keeping it low in fat and high in protein. You could substitute it with non-fat regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt gives the mousse a richer texture.
-
Cool Whip Lite: The Cool Whip Lite provides a light, fluffy topping that keeps the mousse feeling indulgent without adding too many calories. If you prefer a more natural whipped topping, you can substitute with a homemade whipped cream, but the points may change.
-
Syrup Variations: You can use any sugar-free syrup you like, or even swap it out for sugar-free caramel syrup if you’re in the mood for a different flavor.
Storage and Storage Tips
-
Storage: If you have leftovers (though it’s unlikely!), store the mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This mousse will stay fresh, but it’s best enjoyed within a day for optimal texture and flavor.
-
Refrigerating: If you want to let it chill and thicken further, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. The mousse will be even creamier and the chocolate flavor will deepen.
FAQs
-
Can I use regular pudding mix instead of sugar-free?
Yes, you can! However, if you’re following Weight Watchers, using sugar-free and fat-free options will help keep the points lower. -
Can I make this mousse without Greek yogurt?
Yes, you can substitute with regular fat-free yogurt, but the mousse may be slightly less creamy. Greek yogurt adds a thicker texture and more protein. -
Can I freeze this mousse?
Freezing is not recommended as the mousse may lose its creamy texture when thawed. It’s best served fresh or refrigerated. -
How can I make this mousse sweeter?
If you find the mousse not sweet enough, try adding a small amount of a sugar substitute like stevia, monk fruit, or a few drops of liquid sweetener. Always start with a little and taste before adding more.
Enjoy your delicious, low-point, guilt-free chocolate mousse! Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the extra calories.
