Italian Chicken Salad in Lettuce Cups
Mocha Chocolate Trifle Mousse
OMG! Cannot even express to you how incredible this dessert is!! No time for dieting now gang! You’re gonna win some fans over with this one! Who doesn’t like chocolate, strawberries, and Kahlua? This is very easy and quick to make too and so so good! Was a big hit at the potluck!
Tools: Kitchen Aid Mixer or regular mixer, Pampered Chef measuring bowls (they sure do come in handy to put ingredients in to save time), Pampered Chef glass Trifle Bowl. If you don’t have one you can do half this recipe and make it in a springform pan and keep it in the frig overnight to set up even more like a cake.) I’ve made this dessert both in a springform pan and as in my Pampered Chef Trifle bowl.
