This is a legendary recipe in the WW community for its simplicity and satisfaction.
Ingredients:
1 container (8 oz) Fat-Free Cool Whip, thawed
1 box (1 oz) Sugar-Free Fat-Free Jell-O Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, gently fold the dry pudding mix into the Cool Whip.
Keep folding until the mixture is smooth and no white streaks remain. Do not whisk vigorously, as this can deflate the Cool Whip.

Greek Yogurt Berry Mousse (High-Protein & Fresh)
This version is packed with protein and has a bright, fruity flavor.
Ingredients:
1 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh or frozen berries (thawed if frozen), like strawberries or raspberries
1-2 tablespoons zero-calorie sweetener of choice (like monk fruit or stevia), to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: Extra berries for garnish
Instructions:
If using strawberries, hull and slice them. Place the berries, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a blender.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and airy.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Pour into glasses and chill for at least one hour. The mousse will thicken as it chills.
Top with fresh berries before serving.
Estimated WW Points per serving (makes 2): ~0 Points (The points depend on the specific brands of yogurt and sweetener used).
Creamy Coconut & Lime Mousse (Dairy-Free & Refreshing)
A light, tropical option that’s incredibly refreshing.
Ingredients:
1 can (13.5 oz) Light Coconut Milk, refrigerated overnight
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1-2 tablespoons zero-calorie sweetener
1 teaspoon lime zest
Optional: Toasted coconut flakes for garnish (adds points)
Instructions:
Do not shake the can of coconut milk. Carefully open it and scoop out the solid, thick coconut cream that has risen to the top into a mixing bowl. (You can save the leftover coconut water for smoothies).
Using a hand mixer, beat the coconut cream on high speed for 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy, resembling whipped cream.
Gently fold in the lime juice, sweetener, and lime zest.
Spoon into glasses and chill for 1-2 hours until set.
Garnish with a little lime zest or a sprinkle of toasted coconut if desired.
Estimated WW Points per serving (makes 2): ~3-4 Points (Based on using half the solid cream from a light coconut milk can).
Pro-Tips for the Best WW Mousse:
Chill Your Bowls: For whipped mousses (like the coconut version), chilling your mixing bowl and beaters beforehand helps the mousse get fluffier.
Don’t Over-mix: When folding ingredients like pudding mix into Cool Whip, be gentle to maintain the airy texture.
Let it Set: The chilling time is not optional! It allows the flavors to develop and the texture to become perfect.
Get Creative with Flavors: Use different sugar-free pudding mixes (vanilla, cheesecake, white chocolate) or various fruits (mango, mixed berries) to keep things interesting.
Always Calculate: WW Points can vary based on specific brands and portion sizes. Always use your official WW app to calculate the exact points for your ingredients.
Enjoy your delicious, guilt-free treat! These mousses are proof that you can enjoy decadent-tasting desserts while staying on track with your wellness goals.
