Ingredients
- 1 box instant pudding (any flavor and size)
- 2–3 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding Mixture: Using a hand mixer, prepare the instant pudding according to the package directions, substituting heavy whipping cream for the milk to achieve a richer texture.
- Chill and Thicken: After mixing, place the pudding mixture in the refrigerator for a few minutes to cool and then whip it again until it reaches a super thick, mousse-like consistency.
- Store Properly: Transfer the mousse into a covered container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Optionally, freeze half for a cold treat with a slightly different texture.
Notes
- The mousse can be made with any flavor or size of instant pudding mix.
- Adjust the amount of heavy cream to control the thickness; more cream will result in a thicker mousse.
- Freezing changes the texture for a colder, slightly firmer dessert.
- Best served chilled straight from the refrigerator or partially frozen.
- Keep the mousse covered to prevent it from absorbing other fridge odors.
