looks yummy...

only trouble is I don't trust the eggs here enough to have raw whites..
 
You could probably make it without the egg whites actually. All they do is give it a light, fluffy texture like mousse. Believe me, the mixture is yummy enough without the egg whites... it nearly didn't make it onto the chocolate base when I made it!

This sounds like something we used to have for school dinners, a chocolate cornflake base with orange blancmange on top. Was oddly yummy!

Ha! That's EXACTLY what I was trying to recreate! I have craved that pudding ever since I left school at 18 and I'm so glad I figured out how to make it. :)))

I wonder if that recipe for firm set mullerlight mousse stuff would work? Using an orange muller and orange jelly for the topping?

I'm sure that would work. Any recipe for a citrus mousse would, probably.

I think next time I make it I'll make the base thinner, maybe even half the amounts. It was pretty thick, and cost a lot of syns this way. Hubby said he needed a chisel to eat it the first time we had it. It softened up a bit later though.
 
A word of warning in case there is anyone as dim as me!

I thought I'd try adapting this and making using the muller light + sugar free jelly option (went for rasberry flavour jelly, vanilla and choc sprinkles yoghurt and blended with some frozen raspberries)

It might have worked - if my springform cake tin had been water tight - it wasn't! Jelly/yoghurt mix everywhere!

Might try again, but this time either line the cake tin with foil to make it water tight, or maybe try using a silicone cake tin - once its set I'm guessing you can peel off the rubbery cake tin.

The way I did it, the mousse was already set when I put it on the base so it didn't leak. But a leakproof tin might help. ;-)

Thanks for the tip - sounds exactly like something i would do!
 
This sounds yummy:) I think I will have to have a go at making this. x
