Servings: 6-8
WW Points (Freestyle): 3 points per serving (depends on the specific ingredients used)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1 cup sugar-free, fat-free vanilla pudding mix (or you can use a similar sugar-free mix)
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or a sugar substitute, if preferred)
- 1/2 cup light whipped topping (such as Cool Whip Lite)
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind of milk, or unsweetened almond milk for a lower-calorie version)
- Crushed peppermint candies or candy canes (for garnish)
- Mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Make the Mousse Base:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the fat-free Greek yogurt, sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, peppermint extract, powdered sugar (or sweetener), and milk.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the pudding powder is fully dissolved, creating a creamy, thick base.
2. Fold in the Whipped Topping:
- Gently fold the light whipped topping into the yogurt-pudding mixture until well combined and fluffy. This will give the mousse a light, airy texture.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness or peppermint flavor if needed. You can add more powdered sugar or peppermint extract, depending on your preference.
3. Assemble the Shooters:
- Spoon the mousse into small serving glasses or shot glasses. This recipe should make about 6-8 individual servings, depending on the size of the glasses.
- If you’d like a layered effect, you can alternate layers of mousse with crushed peppermint candies for a festive touch.
4. Chill:
- Refrigerate the mousse shooters for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully set. This will help the mousse firm up and develop a nice, creamy consistency.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Just before serving, sprinkle the top of each mousse shooter with crushed peppermint candies, mini chocolate chips, or drizzle with chocolate syrup for extra flavor and a festive look.
Storage:
- Store leftover mousse shooters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
