Citrus White Chocolate Mocha Mousse

It's an idea I had brewing in my mind for a good month now and I finally had to just run to the store and do it. Combining 2 different things (in this case a hot latte and cold dessert) is one of my favorite challenges. As a serving suggestion: Spoon into ceramic mugs and store in the fridge until dessert time. Top with whipped cream and it looks like the real thing! I would have done this but my cute mugs were dirty.

Not chocolatey enough? Try using milk chocolate pudding mix :)

Servings: 3-4

Ingredients:
-1 box instant white chocolate pudding mix (sugar free or regular)
-2 Tbsp. instant coffee granules
-1/4 cup water
-1 1/4 cups skim milk (approx.)
-2 tsp. orange extract
-8 oz. nonfat cream cheese, softened

Directions:

1) Dissolve 2 Tbsp. of instant coffee in 1/4 cup warm water in a 16 oz. measuring cup. Add enough milk to equal 1.5 cups total.

2) In a standing mixer (with the wire whisk attachment), combine the instant pudding mix, orange extract, and coffee/milk mixture. Beat on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, or until well combined.

3) Add the softened cream cheese in batches on the highest speed for about 5 mintues, or until well combined. Scrape the sides if necessary.
