Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 package (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
  • 3 cups frozen (thawed) reduced-fat whipped topping

Steps

  • 1
    Beat eggs in small bowl with electric mixer on high speed about 3 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Gradually beat in sugar.
  • 2
    Heat half-and-half in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat just until hot. Gradually stir at least half of the hot half-and-half into egg yolk mixture; stir back into hot half-and-half in saucepan. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens (do not boil). Stir in chocolate chips until melted. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, just until chilled.
  • 3
    Fold chocolate mixture into whipped topping. Pipe or spoon mixture into serving bowls. Immediately refrigerate any remaining dessert after serving.
