Ingredients:
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained (or use fresh pineapple chunks, chopped)
- 1 box (Sugar-Free) vanilla instant pudding mix (3.4 oz box)
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (for a creamy, protein-packed base)
- 1 cup light whipped topping (like Cool Whip Lite)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for added sweetness and texture)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1-2 tbsp stevia or your preferred sweetener (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pineapple:
- Drain the crushed pineapple in a fine mesh strainer to remove excess liquid. You can also use fresh pineapple if you prefer, but make sure to chop it into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix the Pudding:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
- Gently fold in the whipped topping and drained pineapple into the pudding mixture. If you’re adding mini marshmallows, fold them in as well.
- Taste the mixture, and if you want a sweeter fluff, add a tablespoon or two of stevia or another sweetener to your liking.
4. Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the pineapple fluff for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together and the texture firm up a bit.
- Once chilled, stir it gently before serving. You can garnish with a few extra mini marshmallows or a sprinkle of shredded coconut if you like.
WW Points:
- On the Blue and Purple plans, this dessert can be around 2-3 points per serving (based on 8 servings), depending on the specific ingredients you use. Using sugar-free pudding and light whipped topping helps keep the points low. If you omit the marshmallows, the points will be even lower.
- You can also adjust the sweetness based on your preferences by using less or more sweetener.
Storage:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It’s a great make-ahead dessert for busy days or parties!
Tips & Variations:
- Add fruit: You can swap or add other fruits, like mandarin oranges or fresh berries, for variety.
- Add nuts or coconut: For added texture and flavor, sprinkle some chopped pecans or shredded coconut on top.
- Make it dairy-free: Use a dairy-free whipped topping and a dairy-free yogurt (such as coconut or almond milk yogurt) to make this dish suitable for a dairy-free lifestyle.
