REVIEWS:

I make it with French Vanilla pudding due to nut allergies. Made it many times.

I do alot of volunteer baking for my local VFW. We have dinners on Saturday nights and I usually make the desserts. I served this last Saturday and everyone just loved it. They said it was delicious, light, and not too sweet. I will be making this for them again. It was easy to make and so tasty. Thanks for this recipe. It is a keeper.

I have made this recipe several times, it is quick, easy and fail-proof...I get the pudding in the plastic can, usually a dark chocolate and add to the top...You can leave out the middle layer of graham crackers...and it makes a wonderful presentation...not too sweet and great with coffee. Have had many compliments and at group dinners several asking to take home leftovers....

I have used this recipe and it is very good as is. But if you want varitiey you can use another pudding instead of Pistachio and for the topping I have used a can of pie filling placed in the blender and use that instead of the frosting. Cherry pie filling is very taste with cheese cake pudding or vanilla pudding.

This is one of those super easy desserts that goes together so quickly, yet tastes like you spent hours making it. I have made this many times and it is delicious. My family loves it.

I made this last night. I used sugar free pudding and I used chocolate graham crackers for the middle layer. It turned out great and my family said it was a keeper. Iwill definitely make this again since it is so good and also easy to make.

I have made this several times. This is very quick to make. And it is very good. Your dinner guest will love it.
