This decadent yet guilt-free chocolate mousse is a mere 1 Weight Watchers point for the entire recipe! It’s a perfect treat for satisfying your sweet cravings without derailing your diet.
Yields: 1 serving Prep time: 5 minutes (or less!)
Ingredients:
- 1 serving packet (approximately 1/4 of a standard box) Fat-free, sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix (1 Weight Watchers point) – Be sure to check the specific point value of your pudding mix as it can vary slightly between brands.
- ¾ cup plain, fat-free Greek yogurt – Using fat-free Greek yogurt is crucial for keeping the point value low.
- 2 tablespoons Hershey’s sugar-free chocolate syrup – Other sugar-free chocolate syrups can be substituted, but double-check the nutritional information to ensure they align with the 1 point goal.
- 2 tablespoons Cool Whip Lite whipped topping (0 Weight Watchers points) – Again, “Lite” is key here. Regular Cool Whip will significantly increase the point value.
Instructions:
- Combine Yogurt and Pudding Mix: In a small to medium-sized bowl, combine the plain, fat-free Greek yogurt and the instant chocolate pudding mix.
- Mix Thoroughly: Using a spoon or whisk, mix the yogurt and pudding mix vigorously until the pudding mix is fully incorporated into the yogurt. There should be no visible clumps of pudding mix. The mixture will begin to thicken as you stir.
- Top with Syrup: Drizzle the Hershey’s sugar-free chocolate syrup evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture.
- Add Whipped Topping: Spoon or dollop the Cool Whip Lite whipped topping on top of the chocolate syrup.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your skinny chocolate mousse is ready to be devoured! It’s best enjoyed immediately.
Tips and Notes:
- Pudding Mix Variations: While this recipe is designed around the instant chocolate pudding mix, you could experiment with other sugar-free, fat-free pudding flavors (like vanilla or chocolate fudge) to create different mousse variations. Just be sure to recalculate the Weight Watchers points if you change ingredients.
- Chilling: While not strictly necessary, you can chill the mousse in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for a colder and slightly firmer texture.
- Sweetness Level: The sweetness of this mousse comes primarily from the pudding mix and chocolate syrup. If you find it’s not sweet enough for your taste, you can add a few drops of your preferred sugar-free sweetener.
- Portion Control: This recipe is designed for a single serving. If you want to make multiple servings, simply multiply the ingredient amounts accordingly. Keep in mind that this will also multiply the total Weight Watchers points.
Enjoy this guilt-free and delicious treat!
