Ingredients
1 packet of diet chocolate pudding mix
1 envelope (12 g) of unflavoured gelatin powder
400 ml of milk
200 g of light cream
1 envelope (12 g) of unflavoured gelatin powder
400 ml of milk

Where to find ingredients
For the diet chocolate pudding mix, look for 'sugar-free' or 'low-calorie' instant pudding sachets in the baking or dessert aisle of most modern supermarkets like Nature's Basket or Foodhall. Unflavoured gelatin powder is commonly available as 'gelatin sheets' or 'powder' in the baking supplies section of large grocery stores or online gourmet grocery portals. Light cream (often labeled as 'low-fat cream' or 'light cooking cream') can be found in the dairy aisle; if unavailable, a light malai or a low-fat heavy cream alternative works well. Ensure the milk is your preferred toned or skimmed variety for a lighter result.
Preparation method
- Prepare the diet chocolate pudding according to the packet instructions, using 400 ml of milk, and place it in the fridge to set
- Bloom the unflavoured gelatin in a little water as directed on the packaging
- In a blender, combine the chilled diet pudding, light cream, and the prepared gelatin
- Blitz everything together until you have a smooth and creamy mixture
- Divide the mousse into individual dessert bowls or glasses
- Pop them into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is firm and set
- Garnish to your preference before serving
