This is a wonderful dessert. It must be healthy, it does have fruit in it! ;0 I did lighten it up the best I could with low fat sweetened condensed milk and low fat cream cheese. It still tastes amazingly rich but not overly sweet. The cake does not seem to absorb the pudding which my family really liked (unlike a trifle). I did serve it in my trifle bowl and it looked very inviting. A nice rich chocolate end to the meal. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe.
