Chocolate Mousse Torte

A new favorite of mine from Taste of Home Cooking:

It actually took myself and a friend to make this together because I was scared of messing it up for the office Christmas party, but it turned out beautiful AND delicious!



Ingredients:

37 Nilla Wafers

4 Squares Baker's semi-sweet chocolate

2 Packages Jell-O Instant chocolate pudding

2 Cups cold milk

1 Tub whipped cream

1 Package cream cheese, softened

1/2 Cup sugar

2 Tbsp. cold milk

3/4 Cup fresh raspberries

Plastic wrap

Directions:

Stand: 16 wafers around inside edge of 9-inch round pan lined with plastic wrap. Melt 3 chocolate squares as directed on package.

Beat: pudding mixes and 2 cups milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 minutes. Add melted chocolate, mix well. Stir in 1 cup cool whip; pour into prepared pan.

Beat cream cheese, sugar, and remaining milk with mixer until well blended. Stir in 1 cup of remaining cool whip, spread over pudding. Top with remaining wafers.

Refrigerate 3 hours.

Invert torte onto plate. Remove pan and plastic wrap. Top torte with remaining cool whip, raspberries and chocolate curls {from Baker's squares.}
