Frozen Peanut Butter Fluff

This is a dessert that can please almost anyone.

The Reese's lover looking for a chocolate-PB fix.  The health nut that needs a treat that won't ruin the day.  Even the Weight Watcher's crowd only has to count one little point for this dessert.


Oh, and it's easy. That pleases me.

You can eat these in their wrappers, straight from the freezer, or you can be a little classier and turn them out into a dish or plate to be eaten with a utensil.  When sharing one with my son tonight I used the plate approach, which was classy... until I licked the plate to not waste one drop of the gooey joy that is this stuff.

Peanut Butter Frozen Fluff (adapted from Spark Recipes)
  • 1/2 tub of light or fat-free whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1 Tbs of natural, reduced-fat Peanut Butter
  • Chocolate syrup (such as Hershey's), reduced calorie or sugar-free
  • cupcake liners
Stir together the whipped topping and peanut butter until combined. Spoon into liners that are in a cupcake pan or set out on a tray (this recipe makes 6).  Freeze until set - I let mine go over night, then put cups into a freezer bag or wrap them individually to be stored in the freezer until time to serve.


Kim's note: These were great, but maybe PB isn't your thing.  I'm thinking of trying this again, but mixing in a couple of Tbs of cheesecake pudding, then drizzle it with strawberry sauce.  Or mashing some berries and putting them in for fruit fluff.

Happy Cooking!
