🛒 Ingredients
- 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons light maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered zero-calorie sweetener, adjusted to taste
- 2 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free chocolate chips, optional
- 2 tablespoons light whipped topping, optional
- 1 tablespoon powdered peanut butter, optional
- 1 tablespoon oat flour
- Small pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the cream cheese
Place the softened light cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Beat it with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Make sure the cream cheese is properly softened so you don’t end up with small lumps in the finished dessert.
2. Add the yogurt
Add the nonfat Greek yogurt and continue mixing until the yogurt and cream cheese are completely combined. The mixture should become thick, smooth, and creamy.
3. Add the flavor
Add the vanilla extract, light maple syrup, powdered sweetener, oat flour, and a small pinch of salt. Mix again until everything is evenly incorporated.
The vanilla gives the dessert that classic cookie-dough flavor, while the tiny amount of salt helps balance the sweetness and brings out the chocolate flavor.
4. Add the chocolate chips
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula or spoon. Save a few chocolate chips for the top if you’d like a more attractive presentation.
For a lighter version, use fewer chocolate chips. You can also choose sugar-free chocolate chips depending on your preferred ingredients and the nutrition information on the package.
5. Chill
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes. Chilling allows the mixture to become thicker and gives all of the flavors time to blend together.
If you prefer a softer consistency, you can serve it immediately.
6. Serve
Divide the dessert into 4 individual servings. Add a small spoonful of light whipped topping and a few chocolate chips on top if desired.
For the presentation shown in the photo, you can spoon the mixture into a clear dessert cup and gently build it upward with a spoon. Add a few chocolate chips around the top for a beautiful finish.
💡 Helpful Tips
For the creamiest texture, use thick Greek yogurt rather than a thin or watery variety. You can also refrigerate the dessert overnight; it may become slightly thicker after sitting.
If you want a stronger cookie-dough flavor, add a tiny splash of extra vanilla. A little powdered peanut butter can also give the dessert a delicious peanut-butter-cookie twist.
If you’re preparing this recipe for a Weight Watchers plan, remember that Points depend on the specific WW plan, serving size, and brands of ingredients used. Check the exact ingredients in your WW app rather than relying on a generic Points number.
