Mousse Made Of Pudding & Whipped Cream?
Decorating By sophie20033 Updated 24 Mar 2007 , 5:47pm by lilthorner
Hi everyone,
I've heard so much about how people use instant mix puddings in their fillings and would like to know whether I can use an instant mango pudding mix somehow with real whipped cream to make a mousse-like textured filling to put as layers with my sponge cake. It is to be refridgerated. I presume the ingredients in the pudding mix will stabilize the dairy whipped cream?
Any info and recipes would be greatly appreciated!!
I don't even know whether the pudding has to made first before adding in stuff or is it used directly from it's pack and then mixed? 
thank you!!
I've made a chocolate mousse-type filling with heavy cream and instant pudding mix before. I had to play around with adding a few other things--a bit of powdered sugar, and I wound up adding cream cheese--to get it to the consistency I wanted, but it worked out just fine. I've used cool whip and instant pudding mix together before for a very quick filling, but it's a very....flimsy filling, for lack of a better word, and I wouldn't recommend it for stacked cakes. Tastes great, though!
Thanks for your replies!
nannaraquel, when you say you mixed the instant pudding with heavy cream did you do anything to the instant pudding first? or did you just put in the dry powder of pudding into the cream and whip it?
thanks.
I have done this several times with pudding. The one I used was Jello Banana Cream Pie instant pudding. I just put a tiny bit less liquid in (thinks it calls for 2 cups milk, I put 1 3/4 cup heavy cream and then a little bit more until I got the consistency I wanted. This made it thicker than a standard pudding. I have sold cakes with this filling and have had no problem. But the cake most definitely needs refrigeration.
Just add the pudding and cream and beat with a wish, that's all I did!

and it was delicious! It is just the pudding mix and the heavy cream(I used heavy whipping cream) and it turned out just like a mousse!
i make this too.. i use either whipping cream or pastry pride. i also whip it high so it is fluffy like a mousse
