Better Bites: Nutella Mousse!

This past Sunday, I made Nutella Mousse. It was amazing. We put it on chocolate shortbread and then added some fresh raspberries on top. It was the best dessert I've had in a long time. I'm not going to lie, this dessert is NOT low calorie and not low fat when made as the original recipe calls, but with a little crafty thinking, I was able to reduce the calorie and fat content significantly. The preparation will change a bit, too, but if anything, it gets easier! 
I'm including t the original recipe taken from  http://www.singforyoursupperblog.com/  on the left so if you want the real thing, you can go for it! The original recipe was used as a filler for a brownie pie (Um..Yum>?!) 

Nutella Mousse: Before!                                                       

5 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup Nutella,

1/2 pint heavy whipping cream 

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Using a mixer, whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Transfer to another bowl and set aside.In the same mixer bowl, mix Nutella and cream cheese until well combined. Spoon in 1/3 of the whipped cream and gently fold in.  Repeat with remaining whipped cream- be careful not to stir- it won’t be as light and fluffy.

Nutella Mousse: After  

5 ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened 

1/2 cup Nutella 

2 cups Cool Whip Free

1 teaspoon Vanilla

Using a mixer, blend Nutella, vanilla and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.Then, fold in 1/4  Cool Whip and be sure Not to stir! It won't be as fluffy if you do! There might be a few white streaks, THAT'S OKAY! Just walk away! If you keep stirring,  it will be runny! :)

If you're wondering why I omitted the sugar from the "after" recipe, it's because cool whip is already sweetened, but if you realllly want a sugar fix, add some splenda!! :) 

Enjoy!
