Easy Peasy Dream Whip Chocolate Mousse - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (1 1/3 ounce) envelope Dream Whip topping mix (a powder mix, not Cool Whip)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups cold milk, divided (2%, 1% or skim recommended)
1 (4 ounce) package chocolate flavor instant pudding and pie filling mix

Preparation

Beat 1/2 cup milk, vanilla, and Dream Whip powder on slow speed just until blended. Then, blend on high speed for 4 minutes or until topping thickens and forms peaks.
In a separate bowl, pour remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and then add pudding mix.
Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes (I beat on low speed about 1-2 minutes).
Stir in Dream Whip mixture.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. You can garnish with whipped cream or mint.
