Cake Batter Mousse

***I apologize in advance for ANY diets this DELICIOUS dessert will ruin!***

With the whole "Cake Batter Craze" goin on,  I decided to make up a recipe that is not something you'd easily find on pinterest! ;D If you were unaware, mousse is a type of dessert that closely resembles pudding, but has a lighter and fluffier texture! Heaven!  It is used in Trifle recipes, as fillings in cakes, eaten with ice cream, eaten by itself (my fave way to eat mousse), or you can get crazy and  top it with whipped cream!
(This is dedicated to you Alyssa, my fellow Cake Batter lover! I hope this recipe doesn't ruin our friendship!) lol.

This is TOTALLY the "Cake Batter Lover's" dream! It tastes exactly like the stuff but has a whipped, pudding like texture! I really wish I had some Hersheys Chocolate Syrup to drizzle over top to get the Yellow Cake and Chocolate Frosting taste! I ate mine plain in a bowl, yum!, and Darren choose to eat his with chocolate ice cream! I didn't expect him to like it because he HATES the cake batter taste, but surprisngly he LOVED it!
Just LOOK at that big bowl of heavenly deliciousness! 

Ingredients:

1 Packet of Dream Whip (found in the baking isle!)
1/2 C. Cold Milk
1/2 tsp. Vanilla

1 Pkg. Instant Vanilla pudding
1 1/2 C. Cold Milk
1/2- 3/4 C. Yellow Cake Mix (how much you put in depends on your taste preference! the more you add, the stronger the cake batter taste and the sweeter it will be! Of course I used 3/4 cups!)


In a mixer add the packet of Dream Whip, 1/2 cup Cold Milk and 1/2 tsp. Vanilla. Mix on slow until combined and then on high for 4 minutes or until sitff peaks form. Set aside.

In a seperate bowl whisk together the Vanilla Pudding and Cake Mix with a whisk. Add in 1 1/2 C. Milk and whisk by hand for 2 minutes. Mix the Pudding mixture in with the Dream Whip mixture and VOILA! Let set in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.


 And be prepared because I may have another Cake Batter Recipe up my sleeve!

*Does this recipe look familar? I got the inspiration for this recipe from the Mousse recipe right of the Dream Whip box!*
