So easy and so good. I used to love the ones you get on a stick, too. Will have to try this one. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this recipe and that it only requires 4 ingredients! What a healthy treat :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the sugar-free desserts you share. We all need a guilt-free treat every now & then.
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe! I made it with fresh strawberries & sf strawberry jello. My suggestion would be to chop them up into small pieces & then be sure they are very fresh. I cut mine in 1/4. They were a few days old when I used them & some molded on top of the salad (not covered w/ jello). I will definitely make again, just be sure I use fresher berries. ;)
ReplyDeleteSugar free...aned fruit?
ReplyDeleteYou can get it at every grocery store. Walmart seems to have the best prices on it if you can get it in their brand;.
DeleteMy step-grandmother used to make something similar, and I loved it. Instead of the pudding, she used cottage cheese. (I've made it as well, and I always use 1% or 2%, and prefer the large curd when I can find it.) It's so good that I make it "just because", and not because I'm trying to watch calories or lose weight.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom used to make this when we were young. She would use apricot jello, shredded pineapple, and cottage cheese on top of the ingredients you mentioned. It always had us going back for more.

ReplyDeleteI could not find a 3 oz box of sugar free pudding. I found a 1.5 oz box which was a big box. Is this a misprint or do I need 2 boxes of the sugar free pudding?
ReplyDeletesugar free always comes in a 1oz box. the poster probably got the recipe that was made with regular pudding. I doubt it will effect the outcome but will post later as mine is "chillin" right now
ReplyDeleteThis is really good - guilt free, light and refreshing. I added a small carton of low-fat cottage cheese and only used half of a carton of Lite Cool Whip. I prefer this to the recipes that add the dry orange Jello mix in with the ingredients.
