Why Weight Watchers?
Weight Watchers has been a game-changer for many, myself included. Back in 2007, I lost 50 pounds following the Weight Watchers program. As the new year approaches, I’m reminded of how effective it was for me and how easy it is to integrate into a family lifestyle. Unlike other diets that may feel restrictive or require special foods, Weight Watchers allows for flexibility. You control what you eat and how you spend your points, so if you want a slice of chocolate cake, you can have it – you just need to account for it.
This double-chocolate pudding is one of those recipes that won’t eat up all your points but will still satisfy your chocolate cravings.
Weight Watchers Double Chocolate Pudding Recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 1-ounce bittersweet chocolate (preferably 70-85% cocoa for a richer taste)
- 2 cups low-fat chocolate milk, at room temperature, divided
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 6 Tbsp aerosol whipped cream
Directions:
- Melt the Chocolate: In a small pot, melt the chocolate over very low heat, stirring constantly for about 1 minute.
- Add Milk: Pour 1 ½ cups of the chocolate milk into the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1-2 minutes to combine.
- Mix Cornstarch and Milk: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ½ cup of chocolate milk with the cornstarch until smooth and lump-free. Add this mixture to the pot.
- Cook the Pudding: Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.
- Thicken the Pudding: Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the pudding thickens, about 30 seconds.
- Pour and Chill: Divide the pudding among six small ramekins, covering each with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled.
- Serve: When ready to serve, top each pudding with 1 tablespoon of whipped cream.
Expert Tips

FAQs
Q: Can I use regular chocolate milk instead of low-fat?

Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
