EQUIPMENT:

  • Measuring tools
  • Rubber spatula
  • Whisk

INGREDIENTS:

CRUST:

  • One graham cracker crust (reduced-fat, 9-inch)

FILLING:

  • 39g sugar-free chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups cold skim milk
  • 3 tbsp light chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 2 cups light whipped topping

TOPPING:

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped hazelnuts (optional)
  • Light dusting of cocoa powder (optional)

INGREDIENT NOTES:

REDUCED-FAT GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:

  • Graham Crackers are helpful in keeping calories down and also provide a crunchy and sweet base for the pudding pie. For an alternative option, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust.

LIGHT HAZELNUT SPREAD:

  • Spread provides the flavor of a regular hazelnut spread but with fewer calories and sugar. Use a mix of 1 tsp of cocoa with PB2 Hazelnut Powder for a substitute.

SUGAR-FREE CHOCOLATE PUDDING:

  • Chocolate pudding is able to settle quickly, and it also helps in keeping low points. For an alternative, if you use regular pudding, it will increase calories.

SKIM MILK:

  • Skim milk helps make the pudding thick. If you use almond milk as an alternative, it may not settle.

LIGHT WHIPPED TOPPING:

  • It automatically includes the volume of the puddings, and also, it does not increase calories. For a substitute, use sugar-free whipped topping.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Firstly, whisk pudding mix and cold milk together for about one to two minutes till it thickens.
  2. Warm the light hazelnut spread inside the microwave for 10 seconds.
  3. Pour it inside the pudding and whisk till it becomes silky.
  4. Now, fold in 1 ½ cups of whipped topping gently inside the pudding mixture.
  5. Put this mixture over the reduced-fat graham crust and make the top smooth.
  6. Chill it for four hours.
  7. Add optional toppings if you desire.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • You can use sugar-free chocolate syrup for the drizzling option.
  • Serve this pudding pie along with strawberries or raspberries.

TIPS:

  • To make the pudding thicken quickly, make sure you are using very cold skim milk.
