Guiltless-ish Banana Pudding

By: Amecia Matlock

I’ve decided to cut out excess sugars as best I can, and I’ve said a hard goodbye to many of my favorite desserts and treats. I’ve recently discovered a guiltless-ish way to enjoy banana pudding without the added sugars, and HONEY this cheat was a win!

Ingredients

• 1 3.4oz Box of Sugar Free Pudding
• 1 tbsp Monkfruit Sweetener
• 1 cup Reduced Fat Whipped Cream Cheese
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 2 cups Zero Sugar Cool Whip
• 3-4 Bananas
• 1 8oz pack Voortman Bakery Sugar Free Shortbread Cookies

Directions

• In a large bowl combine whipped cream cheese, monkfruit sweetener, and a splash of skim milk (approx. 2 tbsp) in a bowl
• Whip these together using spoon or mixer until creamy and clump free
• Add a packet of pudding mix.
• Mix or Blend until you reach a thick pudding consistency
• Fold in as much cool whip needed to achieve your desired consistency, and set aside.
• In a large dish add a single layer of the shortbread cookies, and top with a single layer of sliced banana.
• Cover with half your pudding mixture
• Begin again with a layer of cookies and banana, and then layer the rest of the pudding mixture on top
• Crush remaining shortbread cookie(s) into a crumb coating and sprinkle on top of final pudding layer
• Cover and chill in the fridge for 4-6 hours
• Enjoy!

Pairs well with a warm glass of milk
