This Mousse is ridiculously easy to make. And, it’s not REAL mousse in the traditional sense…..it’s fake mousse– made with instant vanilla pudding and cool whip. Seriously, a child could make this in 5 minutes flat. Perfect for the holidays! I piped mine into some wine glasses to make it look a little more fancy and then topped it with some ground gingersnap cookies for a nice contrasting texture. The result is a pleasantly delicious creamy dessert that is not too egg noggy–PROMISE! So, happy holidays in advance!
