Made with sugar free jelly / jello and fat free yogurt, this easy dessert is zero SmartPoints! How good is that!
If you have been following the Weight Watchers plan for anytime, you will most probably have heard of 'Fluff'
If not, you're in for a treat!
It is a genius mix of fat free natural yogurt (or fat free Greek yogurt) and sugar free jelly / jello that is whisked up to create a light and moussey dessert!
It can be spooned into individual ramekins, or can be chilled in individual pudding bowls or jelly moulds and turned out as a set dessert.
Whichever way you serve it, it will be light and fluffy and delicious.
And ZERO SmartPoints...unless you are following WW Green plan and then it is 1 SmartPoint per portion (if you use fat free Greek yogurt).
Fluff Variations:
There are also variations of Fluff that you could try!
How about this Marshmallow Fluff?
Or perhaps, this Strawberry Fluff, which swaps the fat free yogurt for half fat evaporated milk.
It is 2 SmartPoints per portion, but it's really good!

How about using Orange Flavoured Sugar Free Jello and mixing in some tinned mandarin pieces?
Or Raspberry Sugar Free Jello with some fresh raspberries on top.
This Lime Fluff is made with lime flavoured sugar free jello and fresh lime juice!
Tips for making fluff:
- A stand mixer does make creating fluff easier, but is by no means essential. If using a handheld mixer you will just need to be patient whilst standing there whisking!
- You can use either fat free natural yogurt or fat free Greek yogurt - whichever you prefer! Just whisk away until lots of bubbles appear and the the mixture increases in volume.
- The jelly mixture should not be hot when you pour it into the yogurt. I suggest dissolving the jello in boiling water and then adding cold water.
- Experiment with different flavours of sugar free jelly / jello and top with with different fruits.
- If you are planning to turn out your Fluff desserts, I'd suggest that you coat the inside of your pudding bowls with a very thin layer of a spray oil first. This makes them easier to turn out! Just run a knife around the rim of the bowl once the Fluff has chilled for a couple of hours. Upend the bowl onto a plate and give the bowl a bit of a shake. The fluff should release easily. Top with some chopped strawberries.

Fluff | Weight Watchers
Ingredients
- 2 cups fat free plain yogurt/ fat free Greek yogurt * (see notes if following WW Green plan) (450g)
- 1 packet sugar free jelly / jello crystals or powder (approx 11.5g)
- ½ cup boiling water (¼ pint)
- ½ cup cold water (¼ pint)
- 6 strawberries to decorate - optional
Instructions
- Pour the jelly/jello crystals or powder into a jug and add the boiling water. Stir for a couple of minutes to dissolve.
- Once the powder has dissolved in the boiling water you can add the cold water and then set it aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- Pour the yogurt into the bowl of your stand mixer (or if you are using a handheld mixer, into a large bowl). Whisk for 2 - 3 minutes until lots of bubbles are starting to form on the top.
- Slowly pour the jelly/jello mixture in a steady stream into the yogurt whilst continuing to whisk. Whisk for a further 5 - 10 minutes until the mixture has increased in volume and is light and bubbly.
- Spoon the mixture into individual ramekins. If you are wanting to turn out the fluff (as in the photograph) coat the inside of individual pudding bowls with a very thin layer of spray oil before spooning the mixture in.
- Place in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours until the fluff has set. If you are turning out the fluff, run the tip of a knife around the edge of the pudding bowls before turning out on to a plate. Serve with sliced strawberries.
Notes
- If you are following the WW Green plan you will need to use fat free Greek yogurt in this recipe for it to be 1 SmartPoint per portion. Fat free natural yogurt brings the SmartPoints up to 2 SmartPoints per portion.

Christine says
I use mine and add 50 of light carnation and one egg white whisked together. Into the cool jelly 2 pro points including yoghurt
Kim says
Thanks for introducing me to fluff! I plan to make it this week, but I am confused about the 1/4 pint measure. Isn't that 1/2 cup / 4 oz? I've never seen 1/4 pint used as a measure before. Any particular reason why?
Marianne says
Hi Kim
Sorry about the confusion. Being from the UK, I use pint measurements rather than cup measurements. With my recipes I do the conversions from imperial measurements to cups as best I can but to add to the confusion a UK pint is different from a US pint!!
I would suggest for you to make up the jello / jelly with half the amount of water that is suggested on the packet. For example, on the back of Jell-o Lime Jelly Powder (10.3g) the instructions are to add 1 cup (250ml) boiling water to the powder and then once dissolved stir in 1 cup (250ml) of cold water. So, for this recipe, if you are using the Jell-o brand I would half what it says on the packet and add 1/2 cup of boiling water to the powder and then once dissolved stir in 1/2 cup of cold water.
I hope that this makes sense and that your fluff comes out well! Luckily for this particular recipe I don't think that exact measurements are really vital for the overall success of the dish!
Kindest regards
Marianne
Denise says
Really enjoyed this and very easy to make! I topped this with a little lite whipped cream. Can’t wait to try other flavors! Thanks for sharing!!!

Kim P says
Hello,
I am wanting to make this delish sounding recipe. I am not sure what 1 packet of jelly means.
Please advise.
Thank You
Marianne says
Hi Kim
Thank you for your message. In the UK we call Jell-o, jelly. So I mean use 1 packet of jell-o crystals - a small 10.3g box of Jell-o should be fine to use.
I hope that clears that up.
Kind regards and good luck with your WW journey.

Gina says
Very good
Sharon Coral says
Love fluff!
Can you advise how long it will last in the fridge?
Sarah says
Tried this tonight....was great. Wound up whisking in my stand mixer for at least 12 minutes after adding the jello, but that could be due to altitude (at 5600ft elevation). Came out of my canola oil sprayed ramekins easy enough. Added maybe 1 Tbsp of fat free whipped cream (from can)....this helped balance the tang of the yogurt.
Jonathon says
This was a great recipe and worked well except I ended up with a layer of clear gelatin at the bottom of my bowl. Any ideas what I did wrong?
Marianne says
Oh no! That's unusual - I've never had that happen before (& I've made Fluff a lot 😀 ) I'm really sorry but I can't help explain why that happened. It may have been the jell-o / jelly crystals that you used rather than something that you did wrong.
Good luck with your WW journey.
Kindest regards
Marianne
Bec says
I also had this problem. The flavouring in the jelly is very overpowering and I didn’t enjoy it as much. Do you think I could use less jelly mix or would that make it too watery and not set right?
Marianne says
Hi Bec
Sorry to hear that - I hope it hasn't put you off trying again.
I have a couple of suggestions. Firstly, I wonder if the flavoured gelatin that you used was a different brand to the ones I have used. I either use Hartleys (a UK brand) or Jell-o and neither have had a particularly overpowering taste. It is only a very small amount of gelatin that is needed (around 11.5g /0.4oz). I don't think using less gelatin would work but you could always try using 1/2 flavoured gelatin and have unflavoured gelatin - that may work (although I haven't tried before).
Let me know how you get on and best of luck with your WW journey.
Kind regards
Marianne
linda Jumper says
she neede to let the jello dissolve for at least two mins in boiling water before adding cold
Linda says
I sold my stand mixer when we moved into a much smaller house. I do have a hand mixer I'll try. I'm wondering if an immersion blender would work also. Has anyone tried that?
Marianne says
Hi Linda
It will be interesting to hear if anyone has tried using an immersion blender.
I haven't tried but I'm guessing that it would work but that the consistency of the Fluff would be less 'fluffy' and aerated and more like a milk jelly.
If you do try, please do let me know how you get on 😀
Best of luck with your WW journey and thank you for leaving a comment.
Kind regards
Marianne
Theresa says
I used regular nonfat yogurt instead of Greek. It never bubbled or increased in size. I hope it tastes good. I’ll try it again sometime using Greek yogurt.
Frances says
Can you freeze it?

JoAnne says
Hits the spot when I’m out of points on WW purple. Thanks!

Glad you liked it JoAnne!
Brittany says
How long does this last in the fridge?
Marianne says
Brittany
Sorry for the delay in replying. Fluff tends to last in the fridge for a couple of days.
Kind regards
Marianne
Kristin says
Can you use SF/FF pudding mix with this as well?? Can't wait to try!
Marianne says
Hi Kristin
I haven't tried that but have you seen this recipe for Pistachio Crunch which is a mix of yogurt & pudding mix?
Kindest regards
Marianne
Tracy R says
Is the non fat greek yogurt vanilla flavored? Or the regular flavoring?
Marianne says
Hi Tracey
It is unflavoured non fat Greek yogurt as that is the kind that is zero SmartPoints on a number of the WW plans.
Kindest regards
Marianne
Pamela says
How much yogurt is a tub? There are may sizes. Thank you!
Pamela
Barb Kelly says
Pamela, she lists the grams and cups for the yogurt in the ingredient list.
Raina says
This never turned into “fluff” but it did make a tremendous mess. I used half Greek and half regular nonfat plain yogurt. I’ll try again with all Greek
Tina says
I made this today using 2 cups of Greek yogurt, for the jello I used 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of cold water. Mine is not fluff but a tasty drink. What did I do wrong?
Marianne says
Hi Tina
Sorry to hear that your Fluff did not turn out as expected.
Unfortunately, you used too much water to make up the jello and that is why it did not work. You only need 1/2 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup of cold water.
Please do try again as this really is a great recipe for anyone following any of the WW plans.
Best of luck with your WW journey.
Kindest regards

Kathy Richards says
Yum! I made this today. It does make a mess….my poor mixer was covered in it. It worth it!! i have five more little tubs of goodness to dole out. I did add 2 Tbs cocoa powder and a little more stevia. Yum yum. Very nice treat. Thanks.
Marianne says
So pleased that you enjoyed it Kathy!
Best of luck with your WW journey.
Kind regards

Kris says
Made this today and topped it with the strawberries and some fat free redi-whip, it was delicious!

Elizabeth says
I'm just wondering if you could tell me what setting i could do this in a thermomix please?
I have made this before but without the mixer so its more like a cheesecake topping rather than fluff. I'd really like to try the fluffy version.
Cass says
What a mess. I never could get my yogurt to get bubbly. I used a hand mixer for well over ten minutes. While I was attempting to get the yogurt bubbly, my jello started to set up, so that was weirdly chunky. Mixing in the jello to the basically creamy and smooth yogut turned into a huge mess. I was splattering green jello yogurt mix literally everywhere. I will never make this again. I have made a similar version before but in my vitamix. I will continue using the old recipe with the blender, it only turns out half fluffy but there is no mess.
Linda says
Same problem. Been in the electric whisk for 45 minutes and all it is doing is splattering liquid all over the kitchen, and I definitely used the correct amount of liquid in the jelly. Hmm
Rachael says
Definitely is not “fluff”. Followed directions and measurements carefully. Never got fluffy or bubbly. Put it in the fridge anyway, let’s see what happens.
