Cool and refreshing, is right! I did make a few changes; I added chopped pecans to plain graham crackers and substituted lemon flavored instant pudding (instead of chocolate) My family loved it! I will definetly make again. Thanks!

Delicious, refreshing summertime dessert! This is one of the desserts I contributed to a family Pool Party/BBQ. Everyone enjoyed this from my 11 month old great-niece to my sister-in-law's senior parents!! The pudding makes the ice-cream very fudgey & smooth. I used a glass 8" square pan & didn't have any trouble getting the dessert out of the pan. To save on some fat and calories, I used fat-free pudding, skim milk & ultra low fat Cool Whip. I think this would probably also work well with frozen yogurt or low-fat ice-cream.
