You only need four ingredients: A ready-to-use graham cracker crust, one box of pudding, one container of Cool Whip, and milk. What makes it healthy is that the pudding is sugar-free and fat-free, and the Cool Whip is fat-free as well. (An optional fifth ingredient is chocolate for the chocolate curls on top.) I honestly didn't look at the nutrition facts for the crust, but I think with how healthy the mousse is, it shouldn't make that big of an impact.
Chocolate curls are SO fun to make! Now, online it says to use a cheese slicer, and a large block of chocolate. I used a vegetable peeler, and a chocolate bar. The trick is to make the chocolate soft enough that it'll sculpt into the form you want, but if it's too soft it'll just melt. I just bought a regular Hershey's bar and practiced with it. Now, this takes away from the 'diabetic friendly' label, but it's completely optional!
Diabetic Friendly Chocolate Mousse Pie Recipe
- 1 ready-to-use graham cracker crust (Chocolate, if possible)
- 1 - 1.5oz package sugar-free/fat-free chocolate pudding mix
- 1 2/3 c skim milk
- 1 - 8oz container fat-free Cool Whip, thawed
- OPTIONAL:
- Chocolate curls, or chocolate chips
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together pudding powder and milk.
- Once well combined, add 4oz (1/2 container) of Cool Whip. Fold in carefully-- over mixing will cause the Cool Whip to lose its form.
- Spoon into crust and smooth out.
- Top with remaining Cool Whip, and chocolate curls if desired.
Chocolate Curls Recipe
- One bar of chocolate (or a few, for practice)
Preparation
- Put patterned-side down and carefully heat in microwave, making sure not to melt the chocolate. (I used a paper plate, but cut off the raised edges so I could have a flat surface to work on.) Heat ~ 10-15 seconds on 70% heat.
- Using a vegetable peeler, carefully guide the blade along the chocolate.
- The amount of pressure/speed will determine how large or loose your curls are.
- If the chocolate flakes, put it in the microwave for a few more seconds.
