A Refreshing 2-Point Dessert That Tastes Like Lemon Meringue

I can’t stress enough how delicious this dessert is – the bright, tangy lemon flavor combined with the creamy texture creates a treat that tastes remarkably similar to lemon meringue pie, but for just 2 WW points! When you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to sacrifice your daily points, this recipe is an absolute game-changer.

Tip: This dessert works perfectly in individual serving cups for portion control, or you can make a larger batch to enjoy throughout the week!

Just 2 Simple IngredientsOne of the reasons I love this recipe so much is its simplicity. You only need:

That’s it! Two ingredients that transform into a creamy, dreamy dessert that feels indulgent but aligns perfectly with your weight loss goals.

How to Prepare Your Weight Watchers Lemon Dessert

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of 0% fat-free Greek yogurt with 1 package of sugar-free lemon pudding mix
  2. Using a hand mixer, blend until smooth and well combined (about 2 minutes)
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 individual serving cups
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dessert to set
  5. Add your favorite low-point toppings before serving

Tip: For the best texture, make sure your yogurt is cold from the refrigerator before mixing.

Customize With Low-Point Toppings

While this dessert is delicious on its own, adding toppings can elevate it to the next level while still keeping it low in points. Here are my favorites:

  • Gay Lea Light Real Whipped Cream (1 point for 4 tbsp)
  • 1 crushed Honeymaid Graham Wafer cracker
  • Fresh lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor
  • Fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries)
  • A shave of dark chocolate or a few chocolate chips

Beyond Lemon: Try These Flavor Variations

While the lemon version holds a special place in my heart, you can easily switch up the flavors using different pudding mixes:

Tip: For a more substantial dessert (if you have points to spare), pour the mixture into a ready-made graham cracker crust for an incredible no-bake pie!

Why This Weight Watchers Dessert Works So Well

What makes this dessert perfect for anyone following Weight Watchers is the balance of satisfaction and points value. The protein in the Greek yogurt helps keep you fuller longer, while the sugar-free pudding mix provides sweetness without adding unnecessary points. It’s the perfect example of how healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up dessert!

This dessert can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator in airtight containers. The texture may thicken slightly over time. For the best experience, add toppings just before serving.

    2 questions. Is it 2 pts or 2pts+ Second question is Regular Cool whip or fat free. Thank you.

    1. This is 2 points (it was called points plus) when I went about 2 years ago. Fat free cool whip is what I used. Sorry to confuse you. Hope you enjoy!

      1. lemon SF pudding has been discontinued, but I’m going to try another flavor. However, I don’t see anywhere where it says how much yogurt? Thanks.

  8. Just made this – it’s yummy, thanks for sharing! Just want to point out, it’s 0.6 oz of jell-o, not 6 ounces! And yes, it’s still 2 PPV as long as you use f/f cool whip. Oh, and I got 5 servings, not 4, just FYI. 🙂

  9. Ohmygosh Virginia this looks amazing! I’m not a strawberry fan so ‘m so glad you shared this one too… it will be on my grocery list this evening!
