Jello Recipes
Easy Chocolate Mousse with Two Kinds of Chocolate
This delicious dessert combines milk chocolate mousse with white chocolate mousse. For even more contrast, the milk chocolate mousse is frozen but the white chocolate mousse is chilled. Frozen mousse is like a chewy ice cream. This delicious and easy chocolate mousse recipe is decorated with white chocolate coated peanuts for some crunch. Alternative you could use cream, chocolate candies or even some fresh berries.
You can double a lot of jello recipes if you are expecting company but do not double this one! If you double the milk chocolate mousse recipe, it will not set properly. You can double the white chocolate mousse part if you want, then you will have nine servings instead of six (but twice the amount of the white chocolate part!) This dessert is not for expectant mothers because it contains raw egg. The risk with raw egg is minimal but it is best to avoid it if you are concerned.
When you use more than one kind of chocolate to make a dessert, you can either blend them together or make them separately, like in the following dessert recipe. The white chocolate mousse is made with jello instant pudding, milk, and cream and the chocolate mousse is made with vanilla, eggs, cream and more traditional mousse ingredients. The resulting combination is a melt in the mouth dessert, which all chocoholics will be in raptures over.

This delicious milk chocolate and white chocolate mousse cup is decorated with white chocolate covered peanuts. The white chocolate mousse is chilled and the milk chocolate mousse is frozen, giving an interesting texture combination. You don't have to serve the milk chocolate mousse frozen but it is easy to make it in advance and you can make the milk chocolate mousse and freeze it a couple of days before making up the white chocolate mousse with jello if you want to. This easy chocolate mousse is a great dessert. It looks gorgeous and tastes even better.
Jello Dessert Ideas for Children
Kids seem to have a natural affinity for jello and it can be fun to use either jello gelatin or jello pudding to make fun and creative ideas which your kids will love. In fact, you can also let your kids help you to make these desserts. Pouring boiling water on to jello crystals might not be the best way to do this but letting them stir the jello, decorate jello cookies or pour jello over cake to make a jello poke cake recipe can be fun and educational.
