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.
