The 2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse has become legendary in the Weight Watchers community for its simplicity, low points, and rich taste.

Whether you’re following WW, counting macros, or simply looking for a light dessert, these mousses are the perfect balance of flavor, texture, and nutrition.
2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse (The Simplest Option!)
Ingredients
1 container (8 oz) Fat-Free Cool Whip, thawed
1 box (1 oz) Sugar-Free Fat-Free Jell-O Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
Instructions
In a medium bowl, gently fold the dry pudding mix into the Cool Whip until fully combined. Continue folding slowly until no white streaks remain. Be careful not to over-mix or whisk, as this can deflate the Cool Whip and make the mousse dense instead of airy. Once smooth and evenly colored, divide the mousse into 4 small serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it set and allow the flavors to meld together. The result is a light, creamy, and satisfying chocolate mousse that feels indulgent but fits perfectly within your WW plan.
Serving Suggestions
Top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a few mini chocolate chips, or fresh raspberries for a touch of elegance.
Estimated WW Points per Serving
Makes 4 servings: approximately 2–3 Points (always double-check using your official WW app based on product brands).
Greek Yogurt Berry Mousse (High-Protein & Fresh)
Ingredients
1 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh or frozen berries (thawed if frozen), such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries
1–2 tablespoons zero-calorie sweetener of choice (monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol), to taste
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: extra berries for garnish
Instructions
If using strawberries, hull and slice them before blending. Add the berries, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until the mixture becomes completely smooth, airy, and pale in color. Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if needed. Pour into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least one hour. As the mousse chills, it thickens naturally into a light, creamy texture. Before serving, top with a few fresh berries or a small mint leaf for presentation.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a drizzle of sugar-free berry syrup or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for a cheesecake-like twist.
Estimated WW Points per Serving
Makes 2 servings: approximately 0 Points (depending on your choice of yogurt and sweetener).
Creamy Coconut & Lime Mousse (Dairy-Free & Refreshing)
Ingredients
1 can (13.5 oz) light coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1–2 tablespoons zero-calorie sweetener
1 teaspoon lime zest
Optional: toasted coconut flakes for garnish (adds points)
Instructions
After refrigerating the coconut milk overnight, open the can without shaking it. Scoop the thick coconut cream that has solidified at the top into a mixing bowl, saving the liquid coconut water for smoothies or other recipes. Using a hand mixer, beat the coconut cream on high speed for 2–3 minutes until it becomes fluffy and resembles whipped cream. Gently fold in the lime juice, sweetener, and lime zest until smooth. Spoon the mousse into small glasses and chill for 1–2 hours to set. Garnish with extra lime zest or a small amount of toasted coconut before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled with fresh pineapple slices or mango chunks for a tropical touch.
Estimated WW Points per Serving
Makes 2 servings: approximately 3–4 Points (based on the solid portion of light coconut milk).
Pro Tips for Perfect WW Mousse
Chill Your Bowls and Utensils
For recipes that require whipping (like the coconut mousse), chill your mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes before starting. This helps achieve a lighter, fluffier texture.
Be Gentle When Folding
Over-mixing can destroy the airy consistency of the mousse. Always fold gently when combining ingredients like Cool Whip or whipped coconut cream.
Always Chill Before Serving
Chilling is essential for both flavor and texture. It allows the mousse to firm up and the ingredients to fully blend, giving you that perfect, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
Get Creative with Flavors
Experiment with other sugar-free pudding flavors like vanilla, white chocolate, or cheesecake for variety. Try swapping berries for mango, passion fruit, or peaches to create exciting seasonal variations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I make these mousses in advance?
Yes! All three mousses can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Keep them covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.
Can I use regular pudding mix instead of sugar-free?
You can, but it will change the calorie count and WW points. Sugar-free mixes keep the recipe light and WW-friendly.
Can I use non-dairy alternatives for the Cool Whip?
Absolutely. You can use a dairy-free whipped topping for a lactose-free version while keeping the same texture.
What can I do if my mousse turns out too thick?
If it’s too dense, gently fold in 1–2 tablespoons of skim milk or almond milk to loosen the texture.
Are these mousses gluten-free?
Yes, they can be gluten-free as long as your pudding mix and other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
