Strawberry Mousse
This perfectly portioned mousse is the ideal way to close out a lazy summer evening. It’s light on carbs, with only 8 grams per serving, but jam-packed with strawberry flavor!

Ingredients
1 package (4-serving size) strawberry sugar-free gelatin
1/2 cup boiling water
2 cups fresh sliced strawberries, divided
1/2 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup reduced-fat whipped topping, plus additional for garnish (optional)

Directions
Yield: 6 servings
Serving size: 1/2 cup

1. Place gelatin in small bowl. Pour boiling water over gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Pour gelatin mixture into blender; add 1 cup sliced strawberries, cream cheese, cold water and almond extract. Blend 1 minute or until completely smooth.

2. Pour mixture into medium bowl. Thoroughly whisk whipped topping into mixture (make sure gelatin mix does not settle to bottom).

3. Pour mousse into 6 serving cups. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, or until mousse sets. Top mousse with remaining sliced strawberries and dollop of whipped topping, if desired.
