The candy of the season has found its way into your weight loss menu. These sweet and creamy pudding treats are packed with the candy cane flavor you crave this time of year. We made this recipe diet-friendly by using sugar-free chocolate and cheesecake pudding mixes, nonfat milk, peppermint extract and light whipped topping. Even better, you don’t have to turn on the oven to make this decadent, no-bake dessert.
Pro Tip: If you can’t find cheesecake pudding mix, you can easily swap in vanilla. Not a fan of peppermint? You can also replace the peppermint extract with another flavor of your choice.
