Recipe Ingredients
- Canned crushed pineapple, undrained – finely chopped pieces of pineapple, packed in its own juice adds natural sweetness, tropical flavor, and a juicy texture to the fluff. The juice from the can is essential as it helps dissolve and activate the pudding mix, creating the creamy consistency that makes this dessert so delightful.
- Sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix – provides structure and creaminess while adding a subtle vanilla flavor that complements the pineapple. Using a sugar-free version keeps the Points low, making it a Weight Watchers-friendly option. You’ll want the 4-serving size packet of pudding.
- Light whipped topping – adds fluffiness and a light, creamy texture to the dessert. It also balances the tartness of the pineapple with a mild sweetness, making the fluff smooth and satisfying. Use whichever whipped topping you prefer, they can all be used interchangeably and have minimal effect on the Point count.
- Toasted unsweetened coconut, optional – though not necessary, it adds a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and fancy touch.

Great low cal desserts when the sweet tooth hits
I used cheesecake pudding and inadvertently used the entire container of whipped cream. Added walnuts and marshmallows. This was totally yummy.
