Recipe by Ann Pittman This dessert's custard base will be thick, but whipped topping is folded in to give it the classic airy texture of a mousse. Because this dessert needs time to chill, it is a terrific make-ahead option.

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk 1/4 cup Frangelico (hazelnut-flavored liqueur) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped 2 cups frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted

Instructions

Combine the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, salt, and eggs in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Heat milk over medium-high heat in a small, heavy saucepan to 180 ° or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Gradually add hot milk to sugar mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Place the milk mixture in pan, and cook over medium heat until very thick and bubbly (about 5 minutes), stirring constantly. Spoon mixture into a medium bowl, and add liqueur, vanilla, and chocolate, stirring until chocolate melts. Place bowl in a large ice-filled bowl for 15 minutes or until mixture is cool, stirring occasionally. Remove bowl from ice. Gently fold in one-third of whipped topping. Fold in remaining topping. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. Sprinkle with hazelnuts.
