Easy Double Chocolate Mousse (Vegan)

This is the veganized version of last week's dessert. I have it as a separate recipe because I had to find some specialty items to make it. You may need to make a trip to a Whole Foods or vegan grocery store to pick up the necessary ingredients. Unfortunately, the vegan whip I used kept this more pudding like than mousse. Also note, Jell-O pudding is "accidentally vegan." This is not a healthy vegan recipe, by the way. 

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups non-dairy milk, divided

2 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate

1 pkg. (4-serving size) chocolate flavor instant pudding & pie filling

2 cups vegan whipped topping, divided

½ cup fresh berries

Directions:

1. Combine 1 cup of the milk and chocolate in large microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in remaining ½ cup milk.
2. Add dry pudding mix; beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. 
3. Refrigerate 20 min. 
4. Gently stir in 1 ½ cups of the whipped topping. Spoon into 6 dessert dishes.
5. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with remaining whipped topping and berries just before serving. 
6. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.

Notes:

• Makes 6 servings, ½ cup each.
• Prep: 15 min. Total 35 min. (including Refrigeration)
