Chocolate Clouds Recipe: Light & Airy Dessert

Ingredients

• 1 (17.3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry (such as Pepperidge Farm®), thawed
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
• 0.5 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting, or to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 3 strips along the folds, then cut each strip into 4 squares, creating 12 pastry squares per sheet. Place the squares on baking sheets.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Let the squares cool completely.
4. In a bowl, whisk together milk and pudding mix until the mixture is thick and smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside to thicken completely, around 3 minutes more. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Transfer the chocolate mousse into a pastry bag fitted with a medium tip.
5. Carefully open a corner of each pastry square using a butter knife or your finger. Create a small pocket in the pastry with the knife. Pipe about 1 tablespoon of chocolate mousse into the opening, filling the pocket until a small amount of mousse appears. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and mousse. Lightly dust the squares with confectioners' sugar before serving.
