This sounds delicious, I love to see recipes that have "real" ingredients, not just a combination of fat free pudding and cool whip (which don't exist in my part of the world and I probably wouldn't eat anyway).

OP, sadly, even using generic ingredients, these couldn't possibly be so low in cals per serving...... those numbers look like they don't include the chocolate, which is the high-cal ingredient here.
75g of ANY kind of chocolate is going to be over 300 cals, probably more like 375.

Regardless, this looks really tasty and a great alternative to the higher-cal versions. Thanks for sharing.

I just double checked the packet of chocolate I used, Tesco Organic Dominican Republic 70% Dark Chocolate, 4 squares @ 20g each = 80g @ 77 cals. I have no idea what kind of chocolate you're using that is 300+ cals! :huh:

Hi all,

I had people over for dinner the other day and wanted to serve a yummy pudding that wouldn't ruin my diary for the day, so I made this lower fat / lower cal chocolate mousse - it was SO delicious, no one guessed it was an adapted recipe. Served with fresh raspberries.

I used 70% cocoa chocolate too, plus I boosted it up with some cocoa powder, so you only needed a little bit to feel satisfied, it was really intense...



Edit: Meant to say, you could lower the fat content by using a fat free greek yoghurt, I think the end result would be the same deliciousness.

I don't know where your numbers come from but chocolate is (unfortunately) a high calorie product.

I just checked the tesco website (http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=259613978) and found the following nutrition information for the product you described:
