EQUIPMENT:

  • Four little cups or jars
  • Bowls for mixing
  • A spatula or spoon
  • A rolling pin and a zip-top bag, or a food processor
  • Measurement spoons and cups
  • Small saucepan (caramel optional)

INGREDIENTS:

For the cookie layer:

  • 6 low-fat graham cracker sheets (or light digestive biscuits)
  • 1 tablespoon light butter or margarine (melted)

For the caramel layer:

  • ¼ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1½ tablespoons sugar-free caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
  • For the chocolate layer:
  • 3 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon plant-based milk (or low-fat milk)

Optional toppings:

  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Crushed graham crackers or light whipped topping

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

Graham crackers:

  • The cookie crunch is made by the graham crackers at the bottom. Whole grain or lower-fat options are better for staying healthy.

Butter:

  • Butter has just the right amount to bind the mixture and play the role of the shortbread part in a Twix bar.

Greek yogurt:

  • Greek yogurt thickens the topping without giving you too many calories.

Caramel sauce:

  • Many low-point diets feature caramel sauce, and many sugar-free versions are widely available. They are usually available in grocery stores.

Chocolate chips:

  • Use sugar-free or dark chocolate chips in place of normal chips. Melting them quickly makes the cookies taste great and rich in chocolate.

Milk:

  • A little bit of milk smoothens the mixing of the chocolate. Dairy and non-dairy milks are both fine.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Make the cookie layer for the trifle. Put the graham crackers in your food processor to break them up.
  2. Mix the melted butter into the cookie mixture.
  3. Scoop out the mixture equally into the glasses or jars.
  4. Push the ingot to form a solid and uniform surface.
  5. Put the sugar-free caramel sauce, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup into a bowl and mix them together.
  6. Try a bit and decide if you want to add more sugar.
  7. Pour an amount of the caramel-yogurt mixture into every jar.
  8. Sprinkle the filling gently with the back of a spoon.
  9. Heat together the chocolate chips and the milk.
  10. Either cook for 20 seconds at a time in the microwave or gently reheat over low heat on the stove.
  11. Keep mixing until the sauce is shiny and silky.
  12. Cover the caramel layer by pouring on the melted chocolate.
  13. Apply it on the skin carefully. A pinch of sea salt will make it tastier.
  14. Put the jars in the fridge for half an hour. Freeze for longer to create a harder ice.
  15. Keep your Weight Watchers Twix Jars cold and add whipped topping if you wish.

TIPS:

  • Put desserts into mini mason jars or similar containers with lids to enjoy on the go.
  • Let the jars chill longer if you want firmer gelato for hot weather!
  • Triple the recipe so that you have enough for eating and for tomorrow’s sweet cravings.
  • Make the chocolate layer with a sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread to get a unique taste.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • You can store your Twix jars in the freezer for the next four days. To maintain freshness must keep them covered with plastic wrap.

FREEZER:

  • You can keep them for the following month if you wish to keep them for a long time. Before serving, thaw in the fridge overnight. Must remember the texture may change a little bit after freezing.

FAQs:

Is it possible to remove dairy?

  • Yes! Serve those who are vegan with Greek-style yogurt and plant-based milk.

Is the recipe as low in points as it claims to be?

  • Yes! Light crackers, sugar-free sauce and Greek yogurt are used in every dieter’s jar. Make the recipe work for your particular diet plan.

May I use another kind of base?

  • Absolutely. Oats, almond flour or another low-point cereal can be used instead of the usual graham crust.

How big should the jar be?

  • Keeping points low and portions controlled is best done with 4 oz jars or single-serving dessert cups.

Do these books work for kids?

  • Definitely! They are tasty, easy to enjoy, and healthier than other common candy types.
