For a fruity, satisfying dessert, we like this smooth and creamy pudding. Since the recipe makes a big batch, it's nice for a potluck. Try it the next time warm weather makes you crave a cool and slightly sweet treat. -Carol Lynn Chizzoniti, Holbrook, New York

It is really yummy! However, I do agree that it makes too much of the pudding mixture. I just cut that in half and it was perfect. I also lightened it up a bit by using light whipped topping and sugar free pudding. It tasted just as delicious. I will definitely make it again!

Really good but it makes way too much of the pudding mixture. I only used about 1/3 and it was perfect. Next time I will use chunky fruit cocktail. I added sliced bananas and a few mini marshmellows would be nice too.
