Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free pistachio pudding mix
  • 6 tablespoons sugar-free Cool Whip divided
  • ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Mix cottage cheese and pudding
  • I add the cottage cheese to a bowl and stir in the pistachio pudding mix. I keep stirring until the pudding dissolves completely and there are no granules left.
  • Step 2: Fold in cool whip and yogurt
  • I add 4 tablespoons of cool whip and Greek yogurt to the bowl. I gently mix everything together until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Step 3: Chill and serve
  • I divide the mixture into bowls. Then I top each with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cool whip. If I’m not serving it right away, I chill it in the fridge for a few hours—it tastes even better that way!

Notes

You can swap the pistachio pudding with other sugar-free flavors like lemon or raspberry. For extra crunch, add crushed pistachios or fresh fruit. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
