This dessert was delicious and easy to make. I fixed it for my daughter. Then she had to fix it for all of her friends.

Couldn't wait to make this dessert and when I did, my boys finished is so quickly I barely had any for myself. It was delicious!

Truly light. It has 18 carbs. A diabetic can't even consider something like this unless it's 20 carbs or less. Thank you!

I made this with chocolate pudding and was a little rich. Think it would be better with the vanila pudding. Will try it again as it was very good.

I took this dessert for a New Years Eve Part and it was a big hit with all ages, nobody suspected the low fat and fat free products used.

I did make it, but with a few adjustments. I got regular chocolate sandwich cookies, but I scraped out the center icing part because there is too much sugar. Then I crushed the cookies, and added 1/4 cup melted margarine so the crumbs would hold together for the base. The top crumbs stayed as they were. Then I used only 3 cups of milk so it would set up a little firmer. The rest was as the recipe said, and it was delicious. My diabetic mother didn't even realize it had been "altered", and no one else did either.

Cut the amount of cookie crumbs in 1/2. Did not get firm enough to slice even when chilled overnight. The flavor was great and it was a big hit with my dinner guests

This is best when setting in the freezer, whether the refrigerator freezer or deep freeze. Make it a day or two in advance and freeze it. Then the morning of the event, take it out and let it set for a couple of hours beforehand. Once it's time to serve, it may still be a bit frozen or it's just right to serve. Otherwise, when it's made the day of or made the day before and set in the fridge, it'll get mushy when setting out for awhile.I don't have much luck with the sugar-free puddings or low-fat cream cheese in recipes. I didn't rate this recipe well 'cause of the problems I've had with them. I don't keep diabetic stuff &/or low-fat stuff on hand too much. I've got the original recipe to this recipe and make it instead. My mom is diabetic and eats just a little of this to satisify her tastebuds.
