Strawberry Mousse

To cut calories from a strawberry pie recipe, I lightened up the filling and served it in dessert dishes instead of a pie crust. With its pretty color and fruity flavor, it's and elegant dessert without much fuss.

To cut even more calories, use a calorie-free sweetener, such as Splenda, instead of the sugar.

i agree with tgbvmb that splenda instead of sugar will keep this lower in calories but will also help diabetics enjoy a great dessert too.

was thinking you could use other berries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries etc. but you would have to increase cups to one half to a whole for recipe. also, why not use peaches too. just thinking of the different fruits that could be used.

Would this serve 12 or 8? Both serving numbers are given on the recipe.

Where does 3gr of fat com from for just the cool whip. or is it the puddiong. could use sugar free and fat free to mak it lighter.

Let me know the answers also.I think that this looks great. I

would use fat free cool whip too.

Does the recipe really only use 1 ounce of pudding mix?

FYI inconsistency - Strawberry Mousse - top says "12 servings" - bottom says yields 8 servings. No big deal - the recipe is just great for any number

Yes. Jello Sugar Free Instant Vanilla Pudding is 1 oz.

I too was wondering if the 1 oz was correct. The smallest box of Jello pudding I could find was 3.4 oz. which is a 4 serving size. Just curious if others have found 1 oz boxes in the store or did they buy the 3.4oz then weight out a 1 oz portion?
