If it calls for 2 cups of milk, I cup of cream and 1 cup of water will work.
But, there are 6 carbs in 1 cup of cream and there are carbs in the pudding
mix.
It's a good treat, but not something for induction or to have all the time.

Low Carb Mousse

By Tony Blakemore, The Aussie LC Gourmet

Posted 8/4/2001

A lot of newcomers to the low carbohydrate lifestyle think that desserts are
a thing of the past. Not so! It is only during the induction phase of the
Atkins diet that desserts other than Jell-O are not allowed. And while even
low carb desserts should be viewed as an occasional "treat" and not a daily
indulgence during ongoing weight loss phase, mousse and cheesecake can be a
part of many people's low carbohydrate eating plan.

As with ice cream, the two most popular flavors are no doubt chocolate and
vanilla.

Here are three basic mousse recipes for your enjoyment. All of the recipes
are not only sugar free, but contain no eggs.

5 Minute Chocolate Mousse
A very quick and simple mousse uses just whipped cream, sweetener and
flavoring.
a.. 1 pint heavy or whipping cream (570ml)
b.. 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
c.. 2 tablespoons of Splenda.
d.. 1 dash of pure vanilla extract
***Note: You can adjust the amount of cocoa powder and artificial sweetener
to your own taste. After you have been following the low carb way of eating
for a while, your need for a heavy sweet flavor will diminish.

Place the cream in a deep stainless steel bowl. Sift in unsweetened cocoa
powder, and gently incorporate it into the cream with a spoon. (If you use
an electric mixer at this point, the cocoa powder will fly every where, and
you want it in the cream, not on your walls.) When most of the cocoa powder
is incorporated, you then can then use an electric mixer or hand beater to
beat the cream to a nice, smooth, fluffy consistency.

Add the vanilla, then the Splenda, gradually mixing as you go. Continue
beating until the mixture is nice and smooth.

Chill and serve, garnishing with a blob of plain artificially sweetened
whipped cream and slices of seasonal low carb fruits or fresh mint leaves,
if desired.

Variation: Feeling adventurous? Add a dash of your favorite liqueur, sugar
free syrup, or extract. Mix this in by hand, though, as it will break down
the cream if you incorporate it too fast.

5 Minute Lemon Mousse
a.. 1 cup cream (whipping or heavy )
b.. 1 small package sugar free lemon Jell-O
c.. 1 cup small curd cottage cheese
Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the Jell-O and the cottage
cheese. Mix until smooth. Chill for 20 minutes.

Serve garnished with long, narrow strips of lemon or lime rind.

Eat immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 to 3 days.

Serves 4. Variations: You can substitute any flavor of gelatin for the
lemon.

Chocolate Mousse With Attitude
By adding cream cheese and chocolate we can give mousse more body and soul.
a.. 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
b.. 8 ounces cream cheese cream cheese (250gr)
c.. 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
d.. (I use a chocolate bar made by Lindts. It is 70% cocoa solids, and is
not
e.. low carb, but I only use 2 squares, no more.)
f.. 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa
g.. 1/2 cup Splenda
h.. 1 dash of pure vanilla extract
Soften the cream cheese in the microwave or place it in the bowl of double
boiler or in a bowl over a gently simmering saucepan of water. When
softened, set aside.

Melt the unsweetened chocolate squares in a small bowl over the same
saucepan of water.

Add half of the cream to the cheese and beat them together until they are
smooth.

Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder over the cream cheese mixture and
incorporate it with a spoon. When most of the cocoa is mixed in, you then
can use an electric mixer or hand beater to whip the mixture to a nice,
smooth, fluffy consistency.

Add the melted chocolate, vanilla, and Splenda, gradually mixing as you go.
Add balance of ingredients and continue beating until nice and smooth.

Chill and serve, garnishing with a blob of plain artificially sweetened
whipped cream and light sprinkling of unsweetened cocoa powder.

Variation: Feeling adventurous? Add a dash of your favorite liqueur, sugar
free syrup, or extract. Mix this in by hand, though, as it will break down
the cream if you incorporate it too fast.

Quick and easy: 2 oz cream cheese, 2 tablespoons cream or half&half, 1/2
square bakers chocolate, 2 packets splenda. About 6 carbs. It makes a
very small amount, but it's extremely rich and filling.

I recently made a double batch, thinking I'd have one another day. Oops.

You just warm the cream cheese & cream, add in the bakers chocolate and
stir until the chocolate dissolves (I use the microwave on 10-20 second
intervals) add in the sweetener, and chill. (Try to wait for it to get
chilled, ok? It's better that way.)
