We have been talking a lot about Valentine’s Day and creating a special day for your kiddos and sweetie. Last week I shared a Steak Dinner that is perfect for a stay-at-home frugal Valentine’s Dinner, and of course, LOTS of Valentine Cupcakes.
I’m kicking off a week long series today with…CHOCOLATE!! I love chocolate! Do you?
Chocolate Mousse with Chocolate Covered Cherries!! Oh my!!
Serving this easy Chocolate Mousse in footed dessert glasses makes it look very impressive, but it’s actually very easy and has few ingredients. My oldest son is a huge fan of chocolate pudding, nothing makes him happier than just plain pudding for dessert…until I made these. This dessert tastes AMAZING!
Dress up that box of plain chocolate pudding with this Chocolate Mousse with Chocolate Covered Cherries recipe from HoosierHomemade.com.
Ingredients
- 1 small box instant or cooking chocolate pudding {print a coupon for $.55 off 3 boxes }
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup whipped topping {like Cool-Whip}
- 1 cup whipped topping {Cool-Whip}
- 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff
- Maraschino Cherries with stems
- Melting Chocolate {I use Almond Bark found in the baking aisle}
- White Melting Chocolate {again Almond Bark}
- Graham Crackers, finely crushed
Instructions
- Mix pudding according to directions on box and place in fridge to set.
- Gently fold whipped topping into pudding and spoon into glasses.
- Place in fridge until you are ready to serve.
- Beat together with an electric mixer and spoon over Chocolate Mousse.
- Drain and rinse cherries and pat dry {the chocolate will stick better if they are dry}.
- Melt chocolate in microwave and dip cherry, place on wax paper until set.
- For the S’More Cherries, dip cherry in white chocolate and then into crushed graham crackers, let set.
- Then dip again in chocolate, let set.
Stay tuned for more Chocolate coming your way all week long!
