Fabulous Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix half n half, water, Splenda (5 indiv. pkts), and Hershey's Dry Cocoa together.
  2. 2
    Mix in Ricotta. Mix in Cool Whip, and sour cream (but don't whip the crap out of it).
  3. 3
    This mix will taste like dooky until you put in the Pudding Mixes.
  4. 4
    FAIR WARNING:Have small cups or whatever you're going to store and or serve your mousse in READY. Because the minute the wet mix and Pudding Mix come into contact, you have about 30 seconds to blend and pour before it becomes quite sticky, thick, and unmanageable.
  5. 5
    Add Pudding Mixes (open them both before adding them both at the same time).
  6. 6
    Beat the hell out of it.
  7. 7
    Pour into cups, small dishes, Gladware, whatever you're using to serve/store it.

Sugar-free Low-fat Almond Cheesecake squares

This dessert is very rich in taste and texture. If you are looking for a sugar-free you must try this one.

2 eggs
2 egg whites
2 Tbs. cornstarch
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Crush the graham crackers. You can either put them in a zip lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use a Kitchen-aid mixer on low or medium speed. Make sure there isn't any large pieces of cracker left. 

In a medium bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, cocoa, and sweet N low or equal. Mix in melted margarine and vanilla extract. Pat mixture evenly on bottom of a 13x9" pan. Set aside.

Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.

Low Fat Chocolate Eclair Icebox Dessert

22 1/2 sheets low-fat honey graham crackers (about 1 [14-ounce] box), divided
3 cups skim milk
2 (3.4-ounce) packages nonfat vanilla instant pudding mix
1 (8-ounce) block fat-free cream cheese
1 (8-ounce) tub frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping -- thawed
1/4 cup skim milk
2 Tbsp. stick margarine, softened
2 Tbsp. honey
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar

Arrange 7 1/2 graham cracker sheets in the bottom of a 13 × 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Combine 3 cups milk, pudding mix, and cream cheese in a large bowl, and beat at low speed of a mixer 1 minute or until thick.

Fold in whipped topping. Spread half of the pudding mixture over graham crackers, and top with 7 1/2 graham cracker sheets.

Repeat the procedure with the remaining half of pudding mixture and 7 1/2 graham cracker sheets. I press the top layer of crackers down into the pudding a little bit. Later when you are frosting the top, it will help the crackers not come up with the frosting.

Combine 1/4 cup milk, softened margarine, honey, and unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl, and beat well with a mixer.

Gradually add powdered sugar to milk mixture, and beat well.

Spread chocolate glaze over graham crackers.

Cover dessert and tent with foil; chill 4 hours.

Serves 18
