Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Fluff:

  • 8 oz fat-free cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup zero-calorie powdered sweetener (like Swerve or Monk Fruit)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub of light whipped topping (like Cool Whip Free)
  • 1 (1 oz) box of sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix (dry)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess and protein)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for texture; adjust points accordingly)

For the Cherry Topping:

  • 1 cup light cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries sweetened with stevia)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Base:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened fat-free cream cheese and zero-calorie powdered sweetener until smooth and creamy.

Add vanilla extract and fat-free Greek yogurt (if using), and continue mixing until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar-free pudding mix and unsweetened almond milk until thickened.

Fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the light whipped topping and mini marshmallows (if using).

2. Chill the Cheesecake Fluff:

Transfer the fluff mixture into a serving dish, trifle dish, or individual bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

3. Top with Cherry Filling:

Before serving, spread the light cherry pie filling (or sweetened fresh cherries) evenly over the top.

For a decorative touch, add a few extra cherries or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers on top (optional).

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy chilled for a refreshing dessert that feels indulgent but is completely Weight Watchers-friendly! Pair it with a cup of herbal tea for a satisfying end to any meal.
