INGREDIENT NOTES:

Pudding Mix:

  • Select sugar-free instant pudding so that you gain fewer calories and weight-loss points.

Milk:

  • Skim milk is your best choice here, but when you don’t have it, unsweetened almond milk is okay too.

Whipped Topping:

  • Using light or fat-free Cool Whip makes your cake airy without adding more fat.

Graham Crackers:

  • To improve nutrition, use low-fat or whole wheat graham crackers if this is an option.

Cocoa Powder:

  • Unsweetened cocoa has less fat if you use cocoa powder instead of chocolate.

Butter:

  • Light butter or margarine makes this dish a healthier choice by following the WW program.

Glaze:

  • Acknowledge that when you make your own glaze, you can choose the right amount of sugar and flavor.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding with cold skim milk and whisk for 2 minutes to get a nice, smooth, and creamy mixture.
  2. Take care while folding the fat-free whipped topping into the pudding so that they are well-combined and light.
  3. At the bottom of the baking dish, add a layer of graham crackers and break them as required to fill it evenly.
  4. Top the wheat cracker layer with half of the mixture.
  5. Top the pudding layer with another layer of crunchy graham crackers, then the remaining dessert mixture.
  6. On top, scatter the remaining graham crackers.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together vanilla, melted butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and one tablespoon of skim milk.
  8. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth. If it is too thick, add a few extra drops of milk.
  9. Pour the glaze over the top graham cracker crust and spread it gently across the entire layer.
  10. Cover the dish with plastic or foil and store it in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or better yet, overnight.
  11. After cutting into 9 squares, put the refresh in the fridge.

TIPS:

  • The graham crackers get soft and cake-like when you make this dessert the night before, so it chills wonderfully.
  • Want a more intense chocolate flavor? Swap the vanilla for sugar-free chocolate pudding.
  • To serve more people, double the recipe for a 9×13-inch pan.
  • For texture and taste, add some crushed pistachios or light chocolate shavings, but don’t forget to record your WW points.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • Cover leftovers and maintain them in the freezer for up to four or five days. It will still taste fantastic even if the texture gets softer over time.

FREEZER:

  • It may change slightly in texture when thawed, but it can be frozen for up to a month. Fresh out of the refrigerator is best.

FAQs:

Can I use products that do not contain dairy instead?

  • Yes! Almond milk and whipped coconut cream make a good base, but you should check for both thickness and sweetness.

Is it possible to make and store it in advance?

  • Absolutely. You should make it a day before you plan to eat it, so the flavors can mix.

Is it possible to use self-made chocolate glaze?

  • Yes! You could also brush this meal with the sweetener-based glaze you like best.
