INGREDIENT NOTES:

MILK(FAT-FREE):

  • To keep your points lower, use skimmed milk, which should be lactose-free. You may go for almond milk(unsweetened) as it is free from fats and sugars.

PISTACHIOS:

  • They are not compulsory items as they may increase points, so you may skip them. If you love their crunch & taste, then use in a very small amount.

INSTANT PUDDING MIX:

  • A pack of instant pudding mix is the key ingredient of this dessert. Carefully buy that it must be free from added sugars.

ESSENCE:

  • It is not a compulsory item too but using it will enhance the pudding flavor.

WHIPPED TOPPING:

  • This will give you the creamy filling. Greek yogurt can be a good substitute which will increase the protein content & change the texture & taste of the topping.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Include the cold milk(fat-free) along with the instant pudding mix(pistachio).
  2. Whisk them for around two minutes to thicken the pudding.
  3. Then include the topping(whipped) & fold in the pudding with a spatula.

  5. Shift it to the refrigerator for around ten minutes.
  6. The pudding will develop its full flavor & texture.
  7. Serve the Weight Watchers Pistachio Pudding in ramekins/dessert bowls with crushed pistachios over them.

TIPS:

  • The milk required for the pudding to set must be chilled. Otherwise, your pudding will not set in the proper way.
  • You can garnish the pudding with some berries, choco chips(mini), sprinkle of cinnamon powder. The points will stay within your limit by using this
  • type of add-in.
  • While using non-dairy milk, make sure that they are compatible with pudding. Otherwise, the vegan milk may not thicken your pudding.
  • Use small cups of dessert/ramekins to keep the portion in control so that your WW points will stay within limits.
