So, this week I have been playing around with a few Weight Watchers dessert recipes. And I have come up with this Pineapple Dessert.
At 5 Smart Points per portion on the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan, Blue plan & Purple plan and 6 SmartPoints on the Green plan, I think that it’s pretty damn good! What do you think?
I used sugar rather than sweetener in this recipe due to personal preference. However, using sweetener would decrease the Points for this dessert by 2 Smart Points per portion.
Read on to see how to do this and for other tips and tricks on how to make this light and airy dessert!
My love for it (and my ability to eat lots of it) is the main reason I started on my Weight Watchers journey in the first place.
But Weight Watchers is all about enjoying food with freedom to eat what you like!
And I choose to eat dessert!
Just Weight Watcher friendly desserts now.
I no longer want to eat the creamy, sugary desserts that pile on the pounds!
Having followed the plan for some years now I know that if dessert is your ‘thing’, it is possible to fit it into your daily (or weekly) Points allocation.
For example, this delicious self saucing Lemon Pudding is just 4 Smart Points per serving and this wonderfully creamy Baked Egg Custard is only 3 Smart Points.
Some desserts are even zero Smart Points!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tbsp light butter (30g) I used Lurpak Lighter
- 3 tsp lemon rind optional
- ⅓ cup superfine sugar / caster sugar (55g)
- 3 eggs seperated
- 4 tbsp self raising flour
- 1 cup skimmed milk (250ml)
- 2¾ cups fresh pineapple (450g) chopped
- 1 tsp icing sugar / powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 180oC / 160oC Fan / 350oF.
- Use a little of the butter to grease a 1 litre ovenproof dish.
- Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites in one large bowl and egg yolks into another large bowl.
- Add the butter, sugar and lemon rind (if using) to the egg yolks and beat until they become thick & creamy. Add the milk and sifted flour to the mixture and fold in.
- Chop up or crush the fresh pineapple and stir into the mixture to combine.
- Now whisk the egg whites with an electric whisk (using clean whisk attachments – see notes above) until they form soft peaks.
- Scrape the egg white into the pineapple mixture and gently fold in. Pour the mix into the prepared dish.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 40 minutes until the dessert is firm and has turned golden brown.
- Leave to stand for a few minutes before dusting with the icing sugar / powdered sugar.
- Serve and enjoy!
