Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons strawberry syrup (I used Hershey's Strawberry Flavor Syrup)
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, and 3 tablespoons of strawberry syrup in a medium bowl. Whisk to dissolve dry ingredients.
- Next, use a hand mixer with the beater attachments on medium-low to whip to stiff peaks. Don't overwhip.
Notes
Makes about 1.5 cups or 3 servings, each 1/2 cup per serving.
How to Store or Make Ahead
Store the finished mousse in the fridge for up to 5 days. It stays aerated and fluffy due to the stabilizing action of the vanilla pudding mix.
Can I Freeze It?
I recommend making this fresh, but if you want to save leftovers you can freeze it. I usually only do this for the sake of not wasting leftovers though--it's ideal to make it fresh!
I did need to save some of my decorated Banana Split Cookies and they came out nicely from the freezer!
