Ingredients

Directions

  1. If fresh Bing cherries are unavailable, you may substitute with 4 maraschino cherries, though fresh fruit is preferred for best flavor.
  2. Place the plain low-fat yogurt into a blender container.
  3. Process the yogurt on high speed for 30 seconds to ensure it is smooth.
  4. Add the low-fat chocolate pudding mix to the yogurt in the blender.
  5. Process the mixture for 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container with a spatula as needed, until the pudding is thick and creamy.
  6. Peel the bananas and cut each one into 6 diagonal slices.
  7. Sprinkle the banana slices lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning and add a hint of brightness.
  8. Arrange two banana slices into the bottom of each of the 4 dessert goblets or bowls.
  9. Spoon one-quarter of the chocolate pudding mixture over the bananas in each dish.
  10. Sprinkle one-quarter of the coarsely chopped pistachios over the pudding in each dish.
  11. Top each portion with 1 tablespoon of thawed dairy whipped topping.
  12. Garnish each dessert with one fresh Bing cherry.
  13. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving.
