WOOHOO! There are new Jell-O products out!
Is it sad that this fact may prove to be the highlight of my week? Well, you know what? I don't care! It's not chocolate pudding, it's chocolate mousse!
And I think we all know that mousse is the dessert of the gods. The Jell-O version is also sugar free and comes in at only 60 calories. You know what else? I wouldn't care if it came in at six hundred calories; it is just that good!
Dark Chocolate Decadence has a deep flavor that is best described as raw devil's food cake batter (the other food of the gods). It's a strong cocoa flavor that has a little milky essence to it. Yet, because the dark chocolate holds its own so well, it's nearly impossible to tell that this is a sugar free dessert.
The texture is very light, whipped and airy. It is a bit denser than a true mousse would be...but ignore that. The whipped texture may be the best thing that has ever happened to sugar free dessert. I say that because while I happen to like the "regular" sugar-free chocolate Jell-O pudding, there is difference in the mouthfeel compared to "normal" sugar-sweetened, full fat pudding (the regular is not as creamy, and tends to make your mouth feel a little oily). But all you get with the whipped version is angelic, fluffy happiness.
I liked these so much that I did something I never do over the course of writing a review: I ate two containers in a row! (Which kinda makes the low calorie count a moot point, but I can live with that. I can live very happily with it, thank you very much!)
Just go to the store and get yourself a box right now, then come back here and thank me...I'll wait. Because I know that once you taste it, you won't take long.
This is so good, in fact, that I am bringing back the rating that started it all!:

Hi...great site! I'm gonna look for these! I'm on weight watchers, and I always buy the 60 calorie jello cups.
ReplyDeleteI freeze them and they taste decent...don't know if you would recommend freezing the mousse ones? would that screw with the texture or make the ingredients separate?
I want to leave work at this very moment to go and get these. It might be more productive for me to do that because I seriously can not concentrate after your description.

ReplyDeleteI have not tried them frozen... my box did not last long enough to freeze them. But I will make a point of trying that on the next batch.

I think that going to get these cups should be a legitimate work call off excuse. Chocolate Mousse waits for no one.
I was looking for a good link for this product so I could send it to my friends...great website.
ReplyDeleteThis product ROCKS! I was dubious when I spotted it in the grocery store yesterday - I feared it would taste "yogurty" like those Yoplait Whips...but NO, they're actually quite wonderful; texture and taste are not just mousse-like...they ARE mousse!
I'm enjoying one now as a healthy part of my Breakfast of Champions!
I just INHALED the caramel version at my work desk and it's so good that I'm actually thinking of eating another. Unfortunately when I went to the grocery store to stock on work provisions, the chocolate decadence was sold out. The texture and concept reminds me of Yoplait Whips! from a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI JUST had one. OMG OMG OMG OMG, it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
