Cooking Mommy: Cherry Pie Fluff

Cherry Pie Fluff

I originally found this recipe on Pinterest. It recommends using cheesecake pudding mix, but I used white chocolate since I had it on hand. I tried it with cheesecake as well and either one is good. The first time I made it, I could only find light cherry pie filling, not sugar free. I liked the taste better with the light than the sugar free, but it does add some calories, so I figured if you divided the whole thing 8 ways with the light cherry pie filling or 7 ways with the sugar free cherry pie filling, it's 2 Weight Watcher points each. I liked it either way and they were very satisfying portions for only 2 points.

Ingredients
20 oz can no sugar added or light cherry pie filling (see notes above)
1 box sugar free white chocolate or cheesecake pudding mix
8oz fat free cool whip

Directions
Combine cherry pie filling with pudding mix. Fold in cool whip. Refridgerate. Enjoy!

There's 2 sizes of the instant sugar free pudding mixes. Did you use the small size or the larger size? It looks really good, by the way.

Allergies and Intolerances

My son, Daniel previously had allergies to egg whites and peanuts. I am lactose intolerant. My nephews have allergies to many foods. I will try my best to label things to help those with allergies since I know it's difficult finding recipes sometimes when someone in your home has common food allergies. Make sure you check labels yourself. If it's marked soy-free or nut-free, it only means it doesn't have the soy or nut protein in it, not necessarily the oils. Look for dairy-free, egg-free, gluten/wheat-free, nut-free, and soy-free labels.

Egg replacements

If you need an egg free recipe, I have some great egg replacements. Now these really won't work in recipes that require a lot of eggs, like a meringue or cheesecake, but they do work well in most recipes I've ever tried.

Egg replacement #1: use 1 Tbsp ground flax seed and 3 Tbsp of water in place of 1 egg. Why this works? I don't know, but flax seed is extremely healthy for you, full of lots of omega fatty acids, so this is my preferred substitute.

Egg replacement #2: Boil 1 cup of water and 1 packet of unflavored gelatin together. In it's liquid state, use 3 1/2 Tbsp of this in place of 1 egg.

I have found sometimes one works better than the other. The flax seed seems to work better overall, I believe, but my mother-in-law made Christmas cookies with the gelatin and you couldn't even tell the difference.
