Mousse Tracks

A very easy to make dessert for the chocolate lovers in us all. Easily converted to a lower fat/ lower calorie dessert by using Neufchatel Cheese instead of cream cheese, fat free cool whip, and fat free pudding.

Ingredients:

2 small boxes Chocolate Jello Instant Pudding (prepared as directed on box)
1 8 oz block Philidelphia Cream Cheese - room temperature
1/2 stick of butter - room temperature
1 C sugar
1 t vanilla
2 C sweetened whipped cream or 1 small tub of Cool Whip (depending on how adventurous you want to get)
12 Fudge Striped Cookies
3/4 C semi-sweet morsels
Garnish: sunflower seeds, mixed nuts, fudge striped cookies, yogurt covered raisins.

Put the cookies into a ziplock bag and crush to a  course crumble. Cream the cream cheese, butter, and sugar together until well blended. Mix in vanilla. Combine the prepared pudding with the cream cheese mixture. Fold in whipped cream until no white from the whipped cream is visible. Fold in crushed cookies and morsels. Be careful not to stir too much as the whipped cream will lose it's volume. Let sit in refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to firm up. Scoop into serving dishes and garnish with desired bits.
