Caramel Banana Pudding Cups (WW-Friendly)

Only 2 Points Each (approx.)

Each Caramel Banana Pudding Cup is a dreamy blend of creamy vanilla pudding and fresh, naturally sweet bananas. The texture is silky and comforting, with just the right amount of lightness thanks to the whipped topping — you’d never guess it’s Weight Watchers–friendly.

Beneath the layers lies a delightful surprise: a subtle crunch from the vanilla wafers that soaks up the pudding, creating a nostalgic, banana-cream-pie feel in every spoonful. The layers of fruit and cream meld together perfectly after chilling, making each bite rich yet balanced.

Finally, the finishing drizzle of caramel sauce adds that irresistible dessert-like decadence. It pools gently over the smooth pudding and banana slices, giving you the flavor of a classic banana pudding — with a lighter, guilt-free twist that fits beautifully into your wellness plan.

Ingredients (makes 6 small cups):

• 1 ½ cups skim milk (or unsweetened almond milk for fewer points)

• 1 package (1 oz) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix

• ½ cup fat-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip Light)

• 2 medium ripe bananas, sliced

• 6 reduced-fat vanilla wafers (or sugar-free cookies), crushed

• 2 tbsp sugar-free caramel sauce (divided for drizzle)

• Optional: a sprinkle of cinnamon or sea salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk the pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Fold in the fat-free whipped topping for a light, mousse-like texture.

2. Assemble the cups: In six small jars or dessert cups, add a spoonful of crushed wafers, a few banana slices, and a layer of pudding. Repeat until the cup is nearly full.

3. Add the caramel touch: Drizzle a little sugar-free caramel sauce on top of each cup and finish with a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt if desired. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
