I used Sugar Free pudding and lite cool whip and it was still yummy. If your looking for a light and refreshing dessert this would work great!

This is a really nice cold dessert. The flavors go together well and it's so easy to make since you use a pre-made pound cake. The only change I made was to mix in about 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract into the pudding. My hubby even liked this, and he's not big on dessert at all.
