"This easy mousse has a million uses, just to name a few, make a Trifle, or top it on cake, Make a pie; omit 1/4 cup milk from the recipe, and simply pour the mousse in a graham cracker pie crust and let it chill for a few hours before serving, it's that easy, make instant rice pudding, plus a million more uses, oh, I should mention or just eat it out of a cup topped with salted nuts and chocolate shavings! DO NOT USE GENERIC WHIPPED TOPPING, Use the real Cool Whip frozen topping or you will be disappointed with the flavor and texture -- For some fun flavor variations see the last step in the instructions"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Whisk together the pudding mix and the milk in a large bowl just until it begins to thicken.
Step 2
Immediately whisk in half of the cool whip (This should to be done quickly to avoid lumps, I suggest only doing half of the cool whip so that it's manageable to mix in quickly).
Step 3
Fold in the remaining cool whip with a rubber spatula.
Step 4
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator covered.
Step 5
Add toppings as desired.
