This is a GREAT summer recipe to bring to a cookout! It looks so pretty in a trifle bowl ($10 Bed Bath & Beyond.com), takes no time at ALL to make and no one will guess its a healthy treat!
I put 12 servings in the nutritional info but that is a good size serving - even half that would definitely suffice!
Also - using the vanilla sugar free pudding cuts the cals a decent amount and doesnt sacrifice taste at all.
