Sometimes you just need a fast dessert recipe that you can whip out in a matter of minutes.
This 30 Minute Butterscotch Mousse recipe is always a big hit. Every time I make this mousse, my kids are crowded around me waiting for the moment that I give them the green light to dive in to this butterscotch heaven.
I like to make homemade whipped cream for the mousse but if you are crunched for time, you can use Cool Whip instead.
Top this beautiful dessert off with a dollop of cream and you have a dessert that nobody is going to guess that it only took you 30 minutes to make!
