Strawberry Chocolate Chip Mousse With Whip Cream

This Strawberry Chocolate Chip Mousse could not be easier to make.  It combines just a few ingredients, all layered in a large wine glass and served with a dollop of whip cream. Best of all, this chocolate mousse is low in calories but still elegant.

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Mousse is a Refreshing Delight

It is simple enough to make any night and fancy enough to serve at a dinner party!

I used fat free sugar free pudding and light whip cream but kept in the real sugar for extra sweetness.  It is a fast and easy dessert that can be made and assembled in less than 15 minutes for a busy week night treat.  Super low in calories too!

The Ghiradelli chocolate chips are a special treat to what looks like a normal mousse. They give a touch of dark chocolate decadence and a nice crispiness to the creamy mousse. (affiliate link.)

Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 (2.1 oz) pkg of Fat Free Sugar Free Jello Pudding mix
• 2 cups of skim milk
• 10 strawberries, quartered
• 4 tbsp of dark chocolate chips. (the Ghiradelli brand taste wonderful!)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• Light whip cream
• Sprig of mint
• Strawberries and chocolate chips to garnish

Instructions

1. Combine the pudding mix, vanilla extract and skim milk in a cold bowl. Whip with a whisk for about 2 minutes and place into the refrigerator.
2. While it is setting, slice the strawberries and mix with the chocolate chips and sugar. Stir several times over about a 5 minute period. The sugar will make a very slight syrup for the strawberries.
3. Take out the pudding and whisk one more time.
4. Layer some of the pudding, some of the strawberry/chocolate chip mixture, and whip cream topping. Repeat another group of layers. (see note on layering below.)
5. Add a dollop of whip cream, a slice of strawberry, a few chocolate chips and a sprig of mint to garnish.
6. Enjoy!

Notes

This dessert needs to be layered just before serving. The sugar makes the strawberries form a slight syrup and if made ahead, it makes the pudding too thin. It only takes a few minutes to layer though. Just do the prepare the strawberry mix and the pudding mix earlier in the day. Then layer at dessert time.
