Nik's Salty Caramel Dessert

This is a true story of how one little sugar-free caramel pudding cup became a very big deal in my life.

I'll try to be brief.

Basically, I was in Wal-Mart and I saw some sugar-free caramel pudding cups. Having never seen them before, I was excited. Brought them home, tasted then and...ennnhhh. They were o.k. But they needed some jazzing up.

In thinking what to do with them, I recalled the deliciousness of salted caramel protein cocoa. Could I make something reminiscent of that? And off my mind went! Here's what I came up with.

Nik's Salty Caramel Dessert (aka "100 calories of hot damn!")

Ingredients

1 sugar-free caramel pudding cup (or 4 oz. prepared sugar free caramel pudding)
A dash of cinnamon
A "splick" of salt (in this case you can decide what a splick is. To me it's usually 1/8 tsp but keep in mind salt doesn't desolve in cold things so you will both taste and FEEL the salt...that was good for me but use your own best judgement)
2 tbsp fat-free whipped topping
1 tsp sugar-free caramel sauce (i.e. Smuckers), for drizzling

Optional: a few banana slices and another dash of cinnamon for garnish

Directions

Empty the contents of your pudding cup into your favorite dessert dish. Mix in salt and cinnamon.

Top with whipped cream and caramel sauce.

NOSH!

This makes for a very satisfying snack at the end of a long day. Altogether, mine comes to about 100 calories and it is worth every last "scrape the dessert bowl with your index finger" taste.
