My family really liked this dessert. I didn't have vanilla pudding so used the cream cheese flavored pudding and that was fantastic! Great fall recipe ~ THANKS for sharing!

Tasted it before adding the whipped topping and it was wonderful--used the whipped topping as a topping for those desiring it. Made with Almond milk and sugar-free butterscotch pudding because I didn't have vanilla--great additional flavor.

I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese, 1% milk, and lite frozen whipped topping. It was very good!

When my 10 year old went to make this we found we were out of vanilla pudding mix. We substituted with cheesecake pudding mix and it was delicious!

I had a crew to feed & I had forgot to prepare a dessert! I turned to this recipe & it saved the day. I didn't even have time to chill it, but they ate it up anyway! It was quick, easy, & very tasty!
