After receiving a trifle dish for Mother's Day, Julie Williquette of Hartselle, Alabama created this pretty dessert. "Made with sugar-free instant chocolate pudding and fat-free frozen whipped topping, it's easier on the waistline," Julie notes. "My chocoholic husband loves it so much that I usually serve it on Father's Day, too."

Homemade Peppermint Ice CreamWhen peppermint stick ice cream isn't available, I crush 15-20 hard peppermint candies or small candy canes and fold into a half gallon of softened vanilla ice cream. —Barb Gribble, Arena, Wisconsin

Haven't made this yet--planning to for Christmas! I think I will take a shortcut and use a low-fat brownie mix and sugar-free/fat free pudding mixe made with skim milk (never had a problem getting my pudding to set up!) and then use sugar-free or fat free (depends on what I can find) and for the top sugar-free candies. My Mom is diabetic and we all love chocolate so this should be a hit!!

How can it be healthy with all those carbs

I agree with bunnerb above. How can you possibly consider this healthy recipe with all that fat?

I don't consider this a fat free recipe with the amount of butter. Also, since 3/4 cup equals 40 grams carbs, it's certainly not calorie free. I don't consider it diabetic frendly and I'm diabetic.

amyrenee980, pudding will never set if made with fat free milk-try using at least 2% if you decide to make it again

Oooh, I can't wait to try this one. Yes, I will alter it a bit. Our store carries sugar-free brownie and cake mixes, so it will be totally diabetic friendly. I will still add the peppermint and vanilla flavorings.

Haven't made this yet, but in response to the person with the pudding problem: use an electric hand mixer & beat cold milk & pudding on med for 2-5 minutes. Also, follow the instructions on the pudding for a pie. Usually it uses less milk to make the pudding thicker. You can chill the pudding before making the trifle layers to make sure it doesn't get soggy or runny.

<p>I merged this recipe with a similar one that my mom makes. I fold a jar of caramel ice cream topping into the whipped topping before layering it into the trifle dish. I also use a brownie mix, but that's because I'm a lazy baker. :)</p>

I haven't made the recipe, but I've made sugar free chocolate pudding lots of times. I would definitely just use the directions on the box for puddings. Also, make sure you don't use milk substitutes- they don't set up at all!

This sounds great and I'm not even a chocoholic. But, I know several people who are....:) Thanks!
