That's 3 points for 1/2 c serving.
I agree--the butter is not needed. I substituted chocolate graham crackers for the oreo cookies. I also decreased the amount of confectioners' sugar. I used Weight Watcher cream cheese. That would be about 3 pts for Weight Watchers. I've got it made and am waiting to eat it for dessert tonight. Also, I think it would be good to put some peppermint flavoring or creme de menthe in it to make it like a grasshopper dirt dessert.

I haven't made this recipe yet, but I am going to make it with chocolate graham crackers. I think they would taste just as good as the oreo cookies and a lot less calories. Also, I would use the light margarine like Brown and Brummel. I don't care for Fat-free cream cheese, so I would just use the 1/3 less fat cream cheese. Otherwise I think I would leave everything else as is.

Makeover dirt dessert is actually one my diabetic son can eat, and absolutely loves. It's delicious and so easy to make, he eats it whenever we are having a special meal. It's a keeper and definitely going in my recipe box.

Great recipe! The consistency was between ice cream and pudding. It was light and creamy and the oreo crumbs were great with it

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.
