Light Pineapple Pudding

Submitted by Lennie

"This light dessert can be made even lighter if you choose the fatfree instant pudding. Note that vanilla yogurt gives this dessert a richer flavour."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding or (3 1/2 ounce) package vegetarian instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 (19 ounce) can crushed pineapple
• 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt

directions

1. If you buy your pineapple in metric-sized tins, you want the 540mL tin of crushed pineapple.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mix and undrained pineapple.
3. Whisk in yogurt.
4. Spoon into serving dishes and chill until serving time (needs only 30 minutes at the most in the fridge before they're ready to eat).
5. These look particularly attractive when garnished with a few fresh berries-- try blueberries or raspberries.
6. If taking to a potluck, don't spoon it into individual dishes but rather leave it in the bowl.

I made this for myself for Christmas dinner [I'm a new diabetic, and I didn't want to feel left out at dessert time]. I used vanilly yogurt, and it was delicious. In fact, some of my family who are not diabetic wanted to share my dessert, and everyone loved it ! Thanks for a great new treat, Lennie.

I just made this using sugar-free, fat-free vanilla pudding and it was quite bitter and off tasting. Maybe it was the pudding mix, but I had to add almost double the yogurt to make it edible. I don't know what happened! I will try it again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I used fat-free sugar-free pudding mix. Still used 1 package, although it was only 1 oz. Worked out perfectly. Thanks.

I made this last week and my husband and daughter ended up fighting over where it all went so fast and who had more. I made it again the other day and am keeping the ingredients on hand to avoid further conflict. They love it and it could not be easier to make. I used pineapple with Splenda the first time and it was fine. I don't like pineapple so haven't tried it but am giving it 5 stars based on the speed with which it disappears.
