Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This fluff is quick and easy to prepare with minimal ingredients. It provides a sweet, satisfying treat that can be used as a dip for fresh fruit or a light topping. It is formulated to be a more point-friendly option compared to full-sugar, full-fat dessert dips, allowing for indulgence within program parameters.

Ingredients

1 (7-8 oz) container fat-free or light whipped topping, thawed

1 (5.3 oz) individual container non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt (or plain for less sweetness)

1 (1 oz) package sugar-free/fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix (dry powder only)

Step by Step Instructions

Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed in the refrigerator.

In a medium mixing bowl, gently combine the entire container of whipped topping and the individual container of Greek yogurt using a spatula.

Add the entire packet of dry instant pudding mix to the bowl.

Fold the mixture together gently but thoroughly until the pudding powder is fully incorporated and no streaks remain. The mixture will be thick and fluffy.

For best results, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend and the pudding mix to fully hydrate.

Serve as a dip for fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or apple slices.
