Black Forest Mousse

 

An excellent and easy dessert.  With just two main ingredients, you can’t get much simpler than this and it’s low calorie too.


First I started with a dark chocolate ready-to-eat pudding I got for free on a store promotion–the shelf-stable ones that come in the little tubs.  I folded that into some extra-creamy whipped topping then added some chopped dried cherries and mini chocolate chips.

So easy!

The result was a delicious and quick dessert that company thinks you fussed over.

You can substitute lower-fat versions of all things used and by the same token, it can be made even richer by folding in real whipped heavy cream.

    It is Paige–you know I can't believe that such simple ingredients, and one that I got for free no less, could produce something so nice! And it's low cal too, even without substitutions. I'm sure your "Flammily" will enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by <3
