Not only does the JELL-O Temptations French Silk Pie look yummy, it tastes so good too. 

Thick, creamy chocolate, that has such a smooth texture, you will not notice a difference from any actual French Silk Pie you’ve eaten, well minus the crust.  The JELL-O Temptations is a bit denser than a regular pudding cup, more like a mousse if you will.  The cream topping paired with the rich chocolate – two wonderful tastes in one.
