INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

1. In a mixing bowl, first pour cold skim milk and add dry chocolate pudding mix. Whip with a wire whisk for 5 minutes. Pudding will thicken.

2. Measure 1 cup nonfat whipped topping and stir into pudding mixture (save remaining ½ cup). Gently whip.

3. Divide into four serving dishes. Add a dollop of nonfat whipped cream and top with fresh fruit.
