Scale
Ingredients
- 1 box instant pudding mix (any flavor, typically 3.4–5.1 oz size)
- 2 to 3 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: Using a hand mixer, combine the instant pudding mix with heavy whipping cream instead of the milk recommended on the package. Mix according to the package instructions until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Chill and thicken: Place the pudding mixture in the refrigerator for a few minutes to chill it slightly, then mix again with the hand mixer until the mousse becomes super thick and fluffy.
- Store or serve: Transfer the mousse to a covered container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can freeze half of the mousse for a colder treat with a different texture while keeping the rest refrigerated for immediate use.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of instant pudding to customize the mousse.
- Adjust the whipping cream amount between 2 to 3 cups depending on desired consistency—more cream yields a lighter mousse.
- Freezing the mousse changes its texture to a more frozen, ice-cream like treat.
- Use a hand mixer for best results; mixing by hand will be less effective in achieving thick mousse.
- Keep the mousse covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness up to two weeks.
