Pina Colada Dessert

This is an adaptation of an old Weight Watchers recipe from the 90's called "Green Dream". That recipe used pistachio pudding. Today I used banana cream pudding but it is also good with coconut cream pudding with banana slices mixed in.


Pina Colada Dessert
1 can (20 ounces) Dole Crushed Pineapple in 100% pineapple juice
1 package (5.1 ounces) Jell-O banana cream instant pudding and pie filling
1 carton (32 ounces) Dannon Oikos Plain flavor 0% fat Greek yogurt

Dump the can of crushed pineapple, juice and all into a mixing bowl.

Stir in the powdered pudding mix.

When the pineapple and pudding mix are incorporated, stir in the yogurt.

Serve Chilled.

I am trying to move away from artificial sweeteners so I altered the original recipe a bit because it called for an 8 ounce can of crushed pineapple, a 4-serving size of sugar-free/fat-free instant pudding mix and an 8 ounce carton of sugar-free/fat-free yogurt (I don't think you can even find an 8 ounce carton of yogurt anymore). The results were a little soupier but it firmed up after chilling.

When the kids were small we use to make this on camping trips. We used a Ziploc bag and let the DAKs mix everything together by squishing the ingredients around.

    P.S. Don't make any of the recipes I am posting these days. They are all naughty. But they are my family's favorites and Amber has asked that I get them too her.
