We make every batch with enriched flour, sugar, and carefully selected vegetable oils to achieve the lighter fat profile.

Perfect for Desserts & Recipes
Reduced Fat Nilla Wafers work beautifully in all your favorite Nilla dessert recipes while helping you create lighter versions of classic treats. Their crisp texture and vanilla sweetness make them the go-to cookie for banana pudding, icebox cakes, cheesecake crusts, and no-bake desserts.
The wafers maintain their structure when layered with pudding or whipped cream, softening just enough to create that signature tender texture banana pudding lovers expect. Crush them into fine crumbs for pie crusts and cheesecake bases that deliver vanilla flavor with less fat than traditional graham cracker crusts. Their neutral sweetness also makes them perfect for pairing with fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits, or ice cream toppings.

Each 11 oz box of Reduced Fat Nilla Wafers features our resealable opening design that helps maintain freshness between snacking sessions. Simply fold the inner liner closed after opening to keep the wafers crisp and protected from humidity.
