Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 4 – 1 WW point per serving, depending on brand choices)

  • 1 package (1 oz / 28g) sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1¾ cups cold skim milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 cup light or sugar-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip Free)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (enhances the chocolate flavor)
  • Optional: Shaved dark chocolate, cocoa powder, or berries for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Whisk the Pudding Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix and cold milk. Using a hand whisk or electric mixer, beat for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. This forms the base of your dessert — smooth, rich, and beautifully chocolatey.

Step 2: Add the Greek Yogurt

Fold in the Greek yogurt gently until fully combined. The yogurt adds a delightful tanginess and creamy body while increasing the protein content. It also gives the dessert that luscious mousse-like consistency without needing heavy cream.

Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Topping

Add the whipped topping in two parts, folding it gently with a spatula. This step is crucial — you want to keep as much air in the mixture as possible to achieve that heavenly lightness. The color should turn a lighter shade of chocolate, and the texture will become fluffy and cloud-like.

Step 4: Flavor Boost

Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. These subtle touches elevate the chocolate flavor, making it richer and more balanced.

Step 5: Chill and Set

Spoon the mixture into small dessert cups or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. The chilling time allows the mousse to firm up slightly while maintaining its airy texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled, topped with a swirl of extra whipped topping or a few fresh berries. For a fancier touch, add a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder or a few curls of dark chocolate. You can also serve it in parfait glasses layered with crushed graham crackers or sliced strawberries for added texture and color.

For special occasions, drizzle a teaspoon of sugar-free chocolate syrup or caramel sauce on top — it transforms the dessert into a restaurant-quality presentation.

Useful Tips for the Perfect Whipped Texture

  1. Use very cold milk – it helps the pudding thicken faster.
  2. Do not overmix once the whipped topping is added — gentle folding keeps it airy.
  3. Chill well before serving for the best flavor and consistency.
  4. Add-ins are welcome – try mini chocolate chips, cocoa nibs, or crushed nuts.
  5. Experiment with flavors – swap chocolate pudding for cheesecake, vanilla, or mocha.

Storage Information

This dessert keeps beautifully in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the smooth texture. If you plan to make it ahead, prepare it the night before and refrigerate until serving — it tastes even better after chilling overnight.
