Ingredients
-
1 package (approx. 0.3 oz) Sugar-Free Lemon Gelatin Mix
-
1/2 cup boiling water
-
1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt (this provides the creamy base and protein)
-
1/2 cup fat-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip Lite), plus extra for garnish
-
1 tsp fresh lemon zest
-
Optional: 1 reduced-fat graham cracker, crushed (to be divided among the pots for the “crumb” topping shown in the image)
Instructions
1. Dissolve the Gelatin
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free lemon gelatin mix with the boiling water.
-
Whisk for about 2 minutes or until the powder is completely dissolved.
-
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly (do not let it set).
2. Create the Creamy Base
-
Whisk the Greek yogurt and lemon zest into the gelatin mixture until smooth and pale yellow.
-
Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until well incorporated. This keeps the pudding light and airy.
3. Portion and Chill
-
As seen in “692214906_122229273260050475_6786567098652985247_n.jpg”, pour the mixture into small individual containers or “pots”.
-
Place the containers in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
4. Add the Finishing Touch
-
Just before serving, sprinkle a small amount of crushed graham cracker over the top of each pudding pot.
-
The “1 point” value typically accounts for the yogurt and gelatin base; be mindful of the amount of cracker crumb used to stay within your goal!
