Mousse  - by Debbie Cusick

4 tbsp. heavy cream
1/2 tsp. cocoa
1 tsp. sugar-free instant chocolate pudding powder
Sweetener to taste
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. peanut butter (optional)

Whip heavy cream until peaks form. Add all other ingredients and continue beating until all are well blended. Use spatula to scrape into a small bowl .Chill for at least 5 minutes - then enjoy.

Variations:
 

• Use banana cream pudding and banana extract instead of chocolate pudding and vanilla. (leave out the cocoa too, of course)
• Use vanilla pudding instead of chocolate (no cocoa). Experiment with flavouring extracts instead of vanilla. I love coconut. Add in some unsweetened coconut. Yum! Others might be maple, almond, mint, lemon.
• Use vanilla as above. Instead of flavouring extract use 1-2 tsp. of sherry. This is yummy.

With any of the above add 2-3 oz cream cheese. Gives it a cheese-cakey taste which I enjoy.
