Free Dessert!!!

[Jilly's Mom]

I Just threw a new dessert together.
Our leader had given us a recipe for a similar dessert but I eliminated the things that added points.

1 package of Sugar Free Jello Pudding, I used White Chocolate
1 tub of FF Cool Whip
Just mix them together and 0 pts.

Really rich. My family just loved it, even my Dad and Brother!!!

My Mom added 2 Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies to theirs but my was just as good plain!

It might be good frozen too.

Jilly's mom,

What is the portion size? Can you pig out and eat the whole thing? It sounds WONDERFUL. :) Annie

If you eat the whole thing it isn't. 2 tablespoons of Cool Whip Free is 15 cal and there are 13 servings(? - I think) in the container that is 4 points there. And 1 serving of sugar-free pudding is 25 cal and there are 4 servings in a package and that's another point. So the entire thing would be 5 points (if my servings on the Cool Whip are correct). So if there are 5 servings then they are 1 point a piece.

[Tiner]

Actually, I'm a FF Cool Whip freak and I know that there are 25 servings in an 8 oz. tub of FF Cool Whip. The entire tub is 7 points. So, the pudding dessert would end up being 8 points for the entire thing.

Sounds yummy though. I'll have to try it.

See I knew I was wrong on the servings for the Cool Whip. LOL! I don't eat it that much I'd rather have the real stuff.

[Jilly's Mom]

Well as the serving size goes about 2 tbs. is all you can eat. It is very rich. I would say that the 1 pt. is about right for about a half cup -- if you can eat that much of it.
Our leader said to add crushed pineapple to it also and don't drain the juice.

Just in case...On my Jello sugar and fat free pudding(I have US. and canadian jello brand) white chocolate it is 25 cals BUT that is before you make it. You have to add the cals and fat fom the ff milk as well. Mine is 95 cals per/cup and my pudding calls for 2 cups unless you use water(can you?). The whole package usually comes out to 290 calories. Just to make sure I asked my mom before posting(ww leader) and she said thats true.If you add the milk and divide it by 4 servings it comes to 72.5 cals. How can you tell I just had alot of time tonight.

[Tiner]

Unless I'm mistaken, I think that recipe that Jilly's Mom posted was just for the dry pudding mix...you wouldn't add any milk for the recipe.

Question — Did you whisk the cool whip and mix together to make it fluffy or did it turn out kind of dense? I made it yesterday and it IS really rich, but it got kind of heavy, if you know what I mean.

I was actually just saying if you make the pudding regular. Not with the coolwhip. Just in case it was not clear. I have a friend last week that made the pudding thinking it was o points and was mistaken. She read this and brought it to my attention saying I was wrong and so she didn't catch that at the beginning.

......delish!

It is very filling and very delicious.

I used two tablespoons of the Ultra-Low Fat Cool Whip (the lightest we have here in Canada!), a sprinkling of the White Chocolate fat free jello pudding powder and 1/4 cup each of tinned mandarins and crushed pineapple. It comes out to about two points and fills about 2/3 of a cereal bowl.

I was full when I ate it.
I will definitely make it again.

My mom used to make it when I was a kid and added full fat Cool Whip and mini marshmellows.

Sounds really yummy. I'm for sure going to give this a try!

So then it is just the powder and not the actual pudding?

Sounds good either way...maybe a few crushed FF/LF vanilla wafers would be good in it too...

[Girlie]

Personally, I just like the sugar-free jello cups with a tablespoon of FF Cool Whip on top...they are very simple, easy, and no points! Really satisfies the sweet tooth!

[spinksy]

Girlie:

It is just the powder sprinkled over the ingredients and mixed in. It is delicious and the vanilla wafers would be a nice addition.

[Girlie]

Thanks! I'll have to try that!

[AnnieV]

Help! I made the ff cool whip + ff white chocolate pudding mix. I whisked the powder into the cool whip and chilled it for about 2 hours. It tasted like uncooked cake batter, and had a floury, gritty texture. Should I have used an electric mixer to more thoroughly incorperate the pudding? I would think that would deflate the coolwhip. Please let me know!

Annie - I had the same results - very grainy, not something I would make again, at least as is. If I try it again, I thought I'd mix the powder in about 1/2 cup of non fat milk and try mixing those two together. What I find is when I mix cool whip with my blender in anything, it looses all its volume, so I think you still want to use a spoon.

[Jilly's Mom]

Just saw you guys had trouble. I don't know what to tell you. I just used a spoon and sprinkled the pudding on top of the cool whip. The cool whip was thawed but still kind of more solid that not. I don't know whether this helps or not.
I also served all of mine at once, so if it does get "funny" after a few hours, I didn't know that.

[Blondie34]

Sounds good but what size pudding did you use the smaller box or larger one thanks I want to try them all Dee

[Jilly's Mom]

I used the small box of Sugar Free pudding and the 8 oz. of the fat free cool whip.
Very yummy!!!

[Blondie34]

Thanks Jilly's Mom I am going to try it

[puggiegirl]

i have tried this too and it did not turn out well. The texture was very grainy and I had to throw it out.
One thing I do like to make is the chocolate sugar free pudding as directed on the package and fold in some fat free cool whip. It tastes like a chocolate mouse. I wonder what we are doing in the recipe that makes it grainy. Any ideas?

[Blondie34]

puggiegirl, I don't know what you are doing wrong I did not try it yet. I am happy today I just came from my ww meeting I lost another lb the total is now 21 lbs.
At the meeting someone suggested to put horseradish in with Fat free mayonaise to spread on sandwiches I did not try that yet either. I tried the fat free and reduced sugar Klondike bars they are really good I can't remember off hand the points but I think they were only 4 or 5 and they are big I don't have any more to check the points maybe somone else has tried them too let us know please. Well I have to go to work Keep up all your good work.

Hi! I am not with ww so I am not familiar with the points at all, but I love this dessert!! I tried it by accident a few months ago. My husband laughs at me cause I go crazy for the stuff. I call it my "fluff"!! :)

My favorite flavors are chocolate and butterscotch.

I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds delicious.

I have been reading the posts about the graininess and do you think that it is because you are not using the instant mix but are using the one that needs to be cooked?


And I am a little ocnfused about the points. How has everyone been counting it?

Thanks

I make different versions of this dessert, but I do add milk to the pudding in order to lighten it up a bit. I should try it with fruit juice instead just to see what happens.

Have any of you made the pumpkin mousse? You use vanilla or white chocolate FF SF pudding mix and add a can of pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice. You can then add some FF cool whip to it for a fluffier texture, or you can just put the cool whip on top. It's marvelous, and really works well at Thanksgiving time and Christmas. My DH loves it, as does my family. It's VERY filling; I find I can only eat a small amount of it at a time. That pumpkin has lots of fiber in it.

I posted about having a grainy problem - I am sure I used ff, sf no cook pudding, so that's not it. I am going to try again using a small amount of milk, but right now I'm on a strawberry shortcake kick - 1 shortcake (1 pt.), 1 cup berries (1 pt.) and cool whip (1 pt.). Very satisfying and low points. Oh, I counted the pudding/cool whip mix as 3 points for 1/4 of the recipe. I have made the pumpkin pudding mixture several times - I really like that and didn't have any grainy problems!
