One of the best parts of my job is the the opportunity to taste test new food. The other day one of those opportunities came up to taste test the new Mousse Temptation desserts by Jell-o. I have to tell you I was impressed with their flavor.
The new Mousse Temptations come in threee yummy flavors, Caramel Crème, Dark Chocolate Decadence and Chocolate Indulgence. The desserts are airy, but still rich in flavor, and definitely worthy of 60 calories each. The family favorite was the Caramel Crème. Which surprised me.
I thought my favorite would be the Dark Chocolate Decadence, since I’m definitely a dark chocolate fan. The dark chocolate did come in a close second, but the Caramel was melt in your mouth fabulous.
I would definitely buy any of the flavors again. That’s one of my taste review rules, I don’t write about anything I wouldn’t purchase myself.
The new Mousse Temptations by JELL-O are available at grocery stores nationwide starting this month, with a suggested retail price of $3.19. If you decide to give them a try, stop back and let me know what you think!

Can’t imagine for the life of me how you can be so ecstatic about these things. The packaging looks wonderful and seductive and so we tried. Sadly these things have nothing in common with real mousse. There was nothing wonderful, rich or seductive about this. It is poorly flavored, plasticky, gelatinous goo – a very unpleasant substance. Very disappointing.
Barbara~ I did think they were very good, maybe my expectations weren’t as high? They definitely weren’t as good as homemade, but for a quick snack they worked for me. Sorry to hear you were disappointed:-(
I tried the Caramel Creme. I love it! Maybe I loved it becuase it never crossed my mind it would taste like homemade. I think it is great to be able to throw into your lunch box. I think it tastes like grown up Jello Pudding.
Are you crazy Barbara? For a chocolate mousse replica this dessert kicks some butt! NO really, this is the best sugarfree snack I’ve found to match the real dessert alternative, and trust me.. I’ve looked all over. It’s amazing in flavor and consistensy among all other sugarfree or fatfree snacks I’ve tried so far.. Most def try it!
I have tried the caramel creme one so far, and I too LOVE it. It is extremely yummy. And for a quick little snack, why not?? I can’t wait to try the others
The Caramel Creme is TO DIE FOR, I was pleasantly surprised…am now sharing this decadently delicious find with all of my co-workers….
Hey where can I buy these?? They are not even listed on jello.com yet
The day after I first tried Mousse Temptations: Dark Chocolate, I ran back to the supermarket to grab several more of these low-cal snacks, before they disappeared from the shelves. I am enjoying all three flavors. The first reviewer, Barbara, seriously needs to lower her expectations. You will simply not find any food that tastes like “the real thing” in a mass-marketed plastic container. Mousse Temptations are a very welcome step-up in flavor and consistency from Jello pudding. For the past year, I have been satisfying my chocolate snack cravings with Jello pudding, and I have never cared for them. I just needed a healthier substitute for my favorite real desserts. I’m very excited about Mousse Temptation – a far tastier option. Of course they don’t taste like the real thing… duh!
I haven’t seen caramel yet only milk and dark chocolate. The caramel must be flying off the shelves. This is the best snack for the calories I can ever remember having. It definitely curbs my afternoon chocolate craving. The only problem I have is hiding them from my boyfriend before he eats them all!!
Have been to 6 supermarkets in Philadelphia area and none to be found. At 3 of the stores, the managers told me the item was discontinued. That seems odd since it is new. I thought the chocolate indulgence was the best 60 calorie snack I’ve ever had. Unfortunately I only bought one package and then was never able to find them again. Any suggestions?
If you are concerned with calories, these are awesome. It is all in your perspective. I imagine anyone who thinks they are horrible isn’t used to low calorie options. I love having a sweet snack after dinner that I know I can jog off in 6 minutes and they are taste much better than jello!
I tried the carmel cream and it is delicious. I can\’t wait to buy and try the dark chocolate one. I think these are a great treat for 60 calories. I found it to be nice and fluffy with great flavor.
I am apparently in the minority. I tried the dark chocolate and found it heavy and sponge like. I am not expecting it to be like homemade and I love jello sugar free pudding, so I was expecting more. It’s more like a flan than a mousse.
Mmmmmmm…Dark chocolate mousse! I just got an email about this new product from Jello in which they offered a coupon for it. Your review makes me want to try it even more!
The Jell-O Mousse Temptations are AMAZING!! So Delish!!
