Chocolate Kahlua Mousse Parfaits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk, very cold
1/4 cup Kahlua
1 (3 1/8 ounce) envelope instant chocolate mousse mix
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups finely crushed chocolate graham crackers
1 1/2 cups Cool Whip, thawed
sugar wafers (optional) or Oreo cookies, etc, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, kahlua, mousee, and cocoa. Whip on low speed until well blended. Slowly increase the mixer to high, whipping for 4-5 minutes, or until fluffy.
In 4 clear glass dessert bowls (or wine/champagne glasses), layer 1/8 of the mousse, 2-3 tablespoons of graham crumbs, and 3 tablespoons of Cool Whip.
If choosing to garnish with cracker crumbs rather than cookies, reserve about 1/4 teaspoon of the cookie crumbs. Repeat the layering, using the remaining ingredients.
If garnishing with crumbs, sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top of each serving. If garnishing with cookies, leave the top of the parfait empty for now.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Before serving, garnish with cookies if desired.
