Chocolate Mousse

Sometimes a girl just needs a little chocolate to go with her quilting projects.  I made this mousse the other night.  It's unlike other recipes in that it's not made with sugar.  I've been eliminating sugar in my foods and I'm feeling great! 

Chocolate Mousse

    8 oz. low fat cream cheese

    8 oz. low fat cottage cheese

    1 1/3 C. skim milk

    1 pkg. sugar-free chocolate fudge pudding mix

    8 oz. Lite Cool-Whip

 

Blend first three ingredients in food processor or blender until smooth.  Slowly add chocolate pudding mix until blended.  Fold in Cool-Whip and chill for three hours.  Sew while waiting. Scrumptious!
