I found this recipe in an old magazine clipping years ago. Does not include 4 hr chill time. Ingredients:
8 ounces neufchatel cheese, softened or 8 ounces cream cheese |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks with |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar (1 cup total volume) |
1 (4 ounce) box fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix |
1/2 cup orange sugar-free kool-aid mix, warmed (can also use oj or tang) |
1 navel orange, cut in half and sliced (optional) |
mint leaf (optional) |
Directions:
1. Microwave the cream cheese for 20-30 seconds and stir (should be very soft and room temperature). Blend with whipped cream by gently folding or stirring. Set aside.
2. In a seperate bowl, thoroughly mix pudding with the warmed orange drink to dissolve. Let sit for a few minutes, then mix again. Gently fold or stir in the cream cheese mixture a little at a time (it's great to get a swirl like effect).
3. Cover top of mousse with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours. Scoop into dessert or champagne glasses using a large melon baller and garnish with fresh orange slices on the side of the glasses and top with a mint leaf.
