Pineapple Pudding Cake

[ 8 ] 11/08/2009 |

I know the holiday season is upon us and most of you are probably working on your Turkey Day menu.  I know that most of us have pumpkin pie or pecan pie for dessert on Thanksgiving and you might be thinking I am going to share with you the most fabulous pumpkin pie recipe E-V-E-R, but alas, it is not true.

Instead, I am going to share with you THIS delicious dessert that is low in calories and fat.  When I made this dessert for my family, it was demolished in no time flat and everyone was clamoring for the leftovers.  There wasn’t much leftover, if you get what I mean.

Pineapple Pudding Cake

(from Taste of Home’s Comfort Food Diet Cookbook)

Ingredients

  • 1 package (9 ounces) yellow cake mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold fat-free milk
  • 1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 package (8 ounces) fat-free cream cheese
  • 1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 20 maraschino cherries, well drained

Directions:

  1. Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions; pour into a 13-in x 9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes.  Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.  In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.  Beat in pudding mixture until blended.  Spread evenly over cake.  Sprinkle with pineapple; spread with whipped topping.  Sprinkle with walnuts and garnish with cherries.  Refrigerate until serving.

    That looks delicious!

    Replace the eggs, oil and water that is supposed to be added to the cake mix with diet cream soda and you'll save even more calories and fat.

    I do not pause ever. I am in a constant state of motion. When Renee was visiting she actually noticed this and made me take time to “just sit down” (I thought I was going to jump out of my skin!). By being in this constant state of “Fast Forward” I miss or rather overlook a lot…the joy of just watching the kids play together…of playing with them……of blowing bubbles…of watching a London Escort movie (you should see my list!)…of simply petting the dog.
