I use Butterscotch pudding with this. It is wonderful. You have to try it. Butterscotch it THE BEST way to make this. My Mom does chocolate sometimes, but still not as good as butterscotch. Yum!!

Mmm, this is such a wonderful dessert! Light yet rich, it's perfect for summer nights. It's also extremely easy to pull together--what a great combination! I, too, used sugar-free, fat-free pudding mix, skim milk, light margarine, and fat free Cool Whip with excellent results. Thanks for posting this favorite!

I made this with pistachio instead of lemon pudding and it was really good. Thanks for posting.

This is wonderful! I received this recipe from a neighbor several years ago. I have found that I can lighten it up by using reduced fat cream cheese and sugar free pudding as well as low fat milk.
