Dessert Chocolate Pudding

100_1163

If you need to take a dessert to a get together and you don’t want it to be TOO bad for you, why not just add some yummies to some chocolate pudding?!

I made two boxes of sugar free, fat free chocolate pudding according to package directions.  Then I stirred in about 1 cup of fat free cool whip, 1/2 cup chocolate chips and a whole bunch of chopped strawberries.

This dessert was such a hit!  Next time you need a “light a fluffy” dessert, try this one!

I have received a few comments asking about Stevia.  Stevia is an all natural, calorie free sweetener.  It is similar to Equal, Splenda, etc, but it is natural and from the leaves of the Stevia plant.  It has neglegible effects on blood sugar levels and there isn’t the wonder (or certainty, in some people’s cases) about whether or not is bad for you, causes cancer, what have you. 

You can purchase this in liquid, dropper like form at any health food store but I prefer to buy the brand Truvia.  It comes granulated and in packets and best of all, they carry it Walmart (in addition to health food stores).  The taste is great and it is very inexpensive and convenient.  I love me some Truvia! 

If you guys have any more questions about this staple in my diet, let me know!

Bake an angel food cake according to package directions.  After it cools completely cut it into cubes.

Add 2 cups of boiling water to the jello mix and stir until it is disolved.  Add raspberries to the jello and put in the fridge for about 15 minutes or until it is thickened but not yet set.  Meanwhile mix the yogurt with approx 2 cups of cool whip.
