This is what I have when I absolutely must have something sweet. It is so simple that I hesitate to mention it but I hate to cook (hubby does all the cooking but frowns on this as he says it isn't really cooking.) Put 1 and 1/2 cup either half and half or whipping cream in a kool-whip container add 1/2 cup cold water. Shake a package of no-sugar instant pudding (Wal-Mart brand is cheapest) over the top of milk mixture, put on cover and shake-shake-shake. Delicious-much like mousse but stiffer texture. I have tried many variations. Today I used vanilla pudding, added maple flavoring and finely chopped walnuts. I estimate less than 10 carbs per serving. Chocolate is my favorite flavor. It might work better in a blender, but I find it sets quickly so I just shake hard and quickly pour into small serving dishes.

Incidentally, my heart Dr. has been trying to put me on a cholesteral-lowering drug but I have resisted. Went on Atkins, didn't mention it to him. My last check-up he was amazed that my cholesteral was fine.
