INGREDIENT NOTES

PEANUT BUTTER

  • We are using the PB2 powdered peanut butter, which is dehydrated by removing most of the oil. This oil-removing process lowers the point. The oil-free peanut butter powder is mixed with a little water to achieve a spreadable consistency.

SWEETENER

  • Use stevia or any other low-calorie sweetener of your choice to sweeten up the plain Greek yogurt while keeping the points lower.

YOGURT

  • We are using non-fat plain Greek yogurt in place of ice cream as a creamy base in the traditional version. It is rich in protein content, low in fats, and very filling. Replace it with fat-free plain yogurt with a sweetener.

CHOCOLATE SYRUP

  • Choose a trusted brand like Lakanto or Hershey’s Zero Sugar for sugar-free chocolate syrup. This will give you the delicious chocolate taste without increasing the points.

PEANUTS

  • Use roasted and crushed peanuts for a classic aroma and tasty crunch. Choose lightly salted or unsalted as per your taste.

CARAMEL SAUCE

  • Choose a trusted brand like Smucker’s or Walden Farms to have the sugar-free version of caramel sauce. This will give you the snickers-like experience with fewer points.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS

  • They are not necessary, so you can skip them if you want. Mini chocolate chips sweetened with zero-calorie sugar will be perfect to use for a chocolate lover.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Add the powdered peanut butter to a small bowl.
  2. Mix water gradually till you get a smooth and spreadable paste.
  3. Now, mix vanilla essence with Greek yogurt and sweetener in a small bowl.
  4. Spread the first base layer of sweetened Greek yogurt in a parfait glass.
  5. The first layer should be followed by a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
  6. Then there will be a turn of a light coating of peanut butter spread.
  7. Over it drizzles the caramel sauce, followed by a sprinkle of crushed peanuts.
  8. Follow the above layering sequence till you reach the top of the glass.
  9. Finish it with a drizzle of chocolate and caramel sauce with crushed peanuts and mini chocolate chips for a nice presentation.
  10. Chill the parfait glasses for half an hour.
  11. Then, serve the chilled and delicious WW Snicker Peanut Buster Parfait.

TIPS

  • Chill all the ingredients before assembling to have the best creamy texture.
  • Use the sliced strawberries or bananas for added sweetness without the increase or calories.
  • Mix a few drops of almond essence for a nutty classic twist.
  • You may skip the chocolate chips to cut down on the points further.

STORAGE DIRECTIONS

FRIDGE

  • Cover the remaining glasses of parfaits and keep them in the fridge to use for up to two days.

FREEZER

  • Freezing will change the texture completely, that’s why we will not suggest that.

FAQs

Will this parfait be suitable for breakfast?

  • As you can see that PB2 and peanuts deliver healthy fats, while Greek yogurt will give you a protein boost. These items make this parfait perfect for serving for breakfast.

Do any other items work in place of caramel sauce?

  • Give a try to sugar-free maple or date syrup for a sweet taste similar to that of caramel sauce.

Will the regular peanut butter work instead of powdered peanut butter?

  • Yes, but using it will increase the points as well as calories. If you use only one tablespoon of natural peanut butter, your points will still be in moderation.
