Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 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

  • ½ (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Unfold puff pastry sheets; arrange on a lightly floured work surface. Cut each sheet along fold marks into 3 strips, then cut each strip into 4 squares to make 12 pastry squares per sheet. Place squares onto a baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let squares cool completely.

  4. Whisk milk and pudding mix together in a bowl until thick and smooth, about 1 minute; let stand to finish thickening, about 3 minutes more. Gently fold whipped topping into pudding. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a medium tip with chocolate mousse.

  5. Gently open one corner of 1 pastry square using a butter knife or finger. Make a small pocket in the pastry with the knife. Pipe about 1 tablespoon chocolate mousse into opening (a small amount of mousse will appear at the opening site when the pastry pocket is full). Repeat with remaining pastry squares and mousse. Lightly dust squares with confectioners' sugar.

Cook's Note:

Instead of a pastry bag, you can use a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off for filling.
