Beat with wire whisk, 2 minutes or until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping. Cover. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Cut pastry circles horizontally in half. Spoon pudding mixture evenly into bottom half of pastry; cover with tops. Drizzle with chocolate (optional). Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
