This amazing dessert is made with just 3 ingredients and comes together in minutes. A word of warning - once you've tasted this simple chocolate mousse, you will never eat regular chocolate mousse again. I know you've been told not to mix water and chocolate, but trust me, this works.

A friend of mine requested a light whipped cream mousse-like frosting for her Mother's Day cake. This is what I came up with. If you are looking for a white frosting use clear vanilla and white chocolate pudding. It does require refrigeration.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed

Steps:

  • Beat the whipping cream, instant pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract together with an electric hand mixer in a large bowl until soft peaks start to form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the mixture will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
