Tips for Making Weight Watchers Cranberry Vanilla Mini Trifles

This recipe looks especially fun served in wine glasses, but other glasses or bowls work equally well. Clear plastic wine glasses are available on Amazon or at most party stores.
This can be made into one full-sized trifle if you’d like.
We used Splenda in this recipe. Other sweeteners can be used, but remember to adjust points accordingly.
Almond or other milk substitutes can be used with the pudding mix, but keep it mind it might not set as well.
Be sure to save back a few cranberries to top your desserts, but keep in mind those will be tart!

You will need these ingredients…

1 angel food cake
2 boxes sugar free vanilla pudding
Skim milk
24 ounce fresh cranberries
Splenda
Cool whip
