strawberry chocolate mousse jar
Ingredients
- 1 package (15.5 oz.) (4 individual servings) Hershey's Chocolate Pudding, divided
- ½ + 3 Tbl. cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 2 cups Dole Sunshine strawberries (thawed), set aside about 8 strawberry slices for garnish, the remainder mashed almost completely thawed with juices somewhat drained
- ¼ cup almonds, sliced
- 3-4 cookie sticks or small cookies, chocolate, almond or vanilla, i.e., Pirouette by Pepperidge Farms
Instructions
- Chill your medium mixing bowl. Combine three servings of the pudding and the topping. Gently swirl together leaving 'streaks'. Dollop equal amounts of the blended mixture into three to four serving jars (i.e., canning jars, 4 to 8 oz. sizes). Spoon equal amounts of the last pudding cup to the side and on top of each mixture.
- Spoon equal amounts of the thawed smashed strawberries on top next to the chocolate dollop. Use a tablespoon spring scoop and top with cool whip. Garnish each w/a couple of strawberry slices. Sprinkle on the sliced almonds.
- Place in the refrigerator several inches apart. Cover very loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate/chill about 15-20 minutes before serving. Garnish with a cookie or cookie stick when serving.
Notes
If you want to use Dole Sunshine frozen raspberries or blueberries, they're perfect in this recipe, too!
If fresh strawberries are available, they make a nice garnish, too. However, you'll want to use the previously frozen in the mousse because the texture works so well with the creamy chocolate 'mousse'!
