Need Substitution for Mousse Mix

**emily_hope** · 12-31-2007, 10:26 AM

I found a recipe for a Swiss Chocolate Mousse Torte and wanted to make it for New Year's dinner to take to my Mother's. I can not find the Nestle Chocolate Mousse Mix anywhere. Is there anything at all I might could substitute for this ingredient? Thanks for any help!

Well I don't know what's in the "mix" but you can make a pretty amazing mousse with silken tofu, blended up with melted chocolate.

Here is another good chocolate mousse recipe that is simple to make:http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easy-Ch...se/Detail.aspx

Sounds good staceyy, but I personally can't eat the frozen whipped topping. It upsets my stomach for some reason... LOL! I just need a substitute for the mousse mix. I thought someone might make their own or something.

You could make the recipe above but instead of cool whip, use real whipping cream (just whip it with a mixer). That cake sure looks good. I might have to try that myself. My birthday is coming up maybe that will be my birthday cake. Yumm.

DH was able to find the mousse mix for me at a grocery store in another town. He just decided to pop in. Thank goodness, now I can make that delicious looking torte!
