Key Ingredients for WW Dessert Hacks that are Low Points

See recipe card below for full list of measurements, ingredients, and instructions.

Nonfat Greek Yogurt

Nonfat Greek yogurt is a superstar here-ultra-creamy, high in protein, and zero points for many WW plans. It forms the base of parfaits, dips, and even "frosting" for fruit. For best results, choose plain, unsweetened yogurt and sweeten to taste. You can use plant-based Greek-style yogurt for a dairy-free option, though texture may vary slightly.

Fresh Berries

Berries bring vibrant color, natural sweetness, and a burst of antioxidants. Use whatever's in season: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Fresh are best for texture, but frozen berries (thawed and drained) work perfectly in compotes or layered parfaits.

Sugar-Free Pudding Mix

A little sugar-free pudding mix (like vanilla or chocolate) transforms yogurt into a decadent, mousse-like treat with almost no extra points. Look for brands with the fewest additives. Instant sugar-free pudding works best and comes in a variety of flavors.

Cocoa Powder

Unsweetened cocoa powder adds rich, chocolatey depth with minimal calories. It's perfect for dusting on top, swirling into yogurt, or making a quick "mug cake." Dutch-processed or natural cocoa both work, but Dutch-processed gives a smoother flavor.

Bananas

Bananas are the backbone of many WW dessert hacks. Super versatile-blend them for "ice cream," slice and freeze for a frosty snack, or use ripe bananas to add natural sweetness to baked goods. For extra creaminess, freeze banana slices before blending for ice cream.

Instructions for WW Dessert Hacks that are Low Points

See recipe card below for full list of measurements, ingredients, and instructions.

Make the Creamy Yogurt Base

In a medium bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, sugar-free pudding mix, vanilla extract, and a pinch of your favorite zero-calorie sweetener. Stir until the mixture is silky smooth and thickened-about 1 to 2 minutes. The pudding mix will help the yogurt set up to a mousse-like consistency.

Prepare the Fruit

Slice your banana into thin coins and gently wash and pat dry your fresh berries. If using frozen berries, thaw completely and drain any excess liquid for best texture.

Layer or Swirl for Parfaits

To create parfaits, spoon a layer of the creamy yogurt into small glasses or bowls. Add a layer of sliced banana and berries, then repeat until all ingredients are used. Alternatively, simply swirl the fruit directly into the yogurt for a marbled effect.

Add Chocolatey Finishing Touches

Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder, sprinkle with mini chocolate chips if desired, and finish with a pinch of cinnamon for warmth. For an extra decadent touch, microwave the chocolate chips for 20 seconds and drizzle over the parfaits.

Chill and Serve

Chill the desserts in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld and the texture set. Enjoy cold for maximum creaminess and refreshment!

Recipe Variations

Chocolate Banana "Nice Cream"

For a frozen treat, blend frozen banana slices with a tablespoon of cocoa powder and a splash of almond milk until creamy. It's like soft-serve ice cream-add mini chocolate chips or berries for extra fun.

Air-Fryer Fruit Crisps

Slice apples or pears, toss with a dusting of cinnamon, and air-fry at 375°F for 10 minutes. Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a zero-to-low point dessert.

Vegan-Friendly Swaps

Use plant-based Greek-style yogurt and a vegan pudding mix to keep this recipe dairy-free. Top with coconut flakes or dairy-free chocolate chips for extra flavor.

Citrus Berry Parfait

Add a squeeze of fresh orange or lemon juice to the yogurt mixture and swap in different fruits like kiwi, mandarin, or pineapple for a refreshing spin.

Crunchy Topping Twist

For extra crunch without extra points, sprinkle the top with unsweetened puffed rice, crushed graham crackers, or toasted oats.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your WW Dessert Hacks that are Low Points chilled, topped with extra fresh berries or a sprig of mint for color. Pair with a hot mug of herbal tea or iced coffee for a satisfying snack or light dessert after lunch or dinner. These treats are also perfect for brunch buffets or summer parties!

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover parfaits or desserts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If layers start to separate, simply stir before serving. For "nice cream" or frozen banana treats, freeze leftovers in a sealed container for up to 1 week; let thaw for 5 minutes before eating. These desserts are best enjoyed fresh and are not suitable for reheating.
