I’ve been working with Weight Watchers on testing some of their newest dessert recipes which utilize some of their pre-packaged Weight Watchers sweet baked goods. Since I’ve been running and losing weight but still have a massive sweet tooth, having desserts that don’t tip the scale in the wrong direction is an important focus of mine.
The first recipe, and also my favorite, was their Rocky Road Ice Cream Pies (pictured above). This tasty treat has big chunks of fudgy Weight Watchers brownies, chocolate ice cream, marshmallows and slivered almonds all in one perfect portioned dessert cup. At 5 PointsPlus® per serving, this is a refreshing dessert that allows me to give into my chocolate cravings without feeling any guilt!
Up next is the Chocolate Banana Quesadillas. This dessert uses one Weight Watchers Chocolate Crème Cake in a creative way to make a completely different tasting treat. Sandwiched in between a cinnamon sugar quesadilla you’ll find sliced bananas and bite sized pieces of Chocolate Creme Cake. If you like chocolate dipped bananas (like I do) you’ll love the flavors in this dessert recipe. Sweet, filling and delicious – plus incredibly fast to put together – I’ll be making this 5 PointsPlus® per serving dessert for an afternoon snack often!
Working with Weight Watchers in this way is helping me open my eyes to how I can use their sweet baked goods in other ways. I can’t wait to dig around in my pantry to see what else I can come up with!
Chocolate Banana Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 2 6- inch flour tortillas
- 1 small banana sliced
- 1 Weight Watchers Chocolate Crème Cake cut into ¼-inch cubes
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 2 large pinches of cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Arrange tortillas on a large cutting board. Layer the bottom half of each tortilla with half of the bananas and half of the cake cubes.
- Fold top half of tortilla over layered cake and banana so that quesadilla resembles a half circle.
- Spray a large sauté pan or griddle with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add quesadillas and cook for 2 minutes. Turn quesadillas and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove quesadillas from heat. Sprinkle each with 1 large pinch cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.

Great treats! I need these after our trip to OR..too much cheese and dessert:)
The chocolate and banana quesadillas look really different. Love the addition of cinnamon too 🙂
Ohhh these sound great!! I love the fact that weight watchers isn’t a diet but a lifestle … and they get it. These are perfect desserts to feed that sweet craving.
Ok, so I just started weight watchers like 2 1/2 weeks ago, and I totally love it! These recipes are great! I can’t wait to try that quesadilla! YUM!
I’m a firm believer in moderation. These are just the perfect treat!
Wow, the rocky road ice cream pie looks amazing. Really? These are Weight watcher desserts? I would have never guess it! Can’t wait to give them a try!
What a wonderful and delicious treat. I love everything that doesn’t make me rush to the store to buy new clothes after I just finished eating
Thanks for these! WW is always my favorite when I need to, er, take some junk off the trunk so I’m definitely saving both of these recipes.
I’m always looking for low-cal dessert recipes. I work out almost everyday and I eat right, but I can’t shake my sweet tooth! I blame my genetics! It’s my Dad’s fault! haha Thanks for posting!
I love Weight-watchers desserts. How lucky you are to be working with them. And I love the new recipes, especially the Rocky Road one. Awesome!
I love the sound of the rocky road ice cream pies!
That quesadilla looks delicious! My sister has lost almost 90 lbs with weight watchers. I’ll have to show her.
There are a number Weight watchers locations accessible everywhere. Which means that, the purchasers will not have to manage any kind of symptom in seeking the near by store about this business enterprise.
Weight Watchers (also called WW all through this post) is really a diet and healthy consuming system characterized by its now famous point program, which assigns meals and foods a specific quantity of points.
Thanks.
