• In a separate bowl, pour remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and then add pudding mix.
• Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes (I beat on low speed about 1-2 minutes).
• Stir in Dream Whip mixture.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve. You can garnish with whipped cream or mint.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Whip 1 cup of the heavy cream to soft peaks in a medium bowl (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
• Add the egg, egg yolks, sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract, salt and 1 tablespoon water to a medium heatproof bowl and whisk to combine. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture is pale, hot to the touch and has almost doubled in volume, about 4 to 6 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula, if necessary. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until cooled, about 2 minutes.
• Put the chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set over the saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and gently stir for about 3 minutes to cool slightly.
• Whisk the egg mixture into the melted chocolate in 3 additions until combined. (The mixture may get very thick.) Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions until it is fully incorporated. It is important that the chocolate mixture is not warm to ensure that it combines smoothly with the whipped cream without seizing up.
• Divide the chocolate mousse among four 4-ounce ramekins and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Whip the remaining 3/4 cup cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Top each chocolate mousse with whipped cream and serve. (For a softer texture, allow the ramekins to sit at room temperature while you whip the cream.)

MELTED ICE CREAM CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Whisk the ice cream and cocoa powder in a saucepan, making sure there are no lumps. Heat over medium heat until simmering. Put the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl and pour the heated ice cream over the top. Stir to evenly melt the chocolate, then let cool to warm.
• Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold stiff peaks. Whisk one-third of the whites into the chocolate base to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
• Beat the heavy cream until it just holds medium-stiff peaks, then fold into the chocolate mixture. Divide the mousse among 4 serving bowls and chill until set, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Serve topped with the shaved chocolate.
