This looks incredible! Do you think you can use sugar-free pudding to make it a little lighter and still get the same consistency and flavor? I am diabetic, but cutting back on some of the sugar allows me to count something like this in my diet as long as I use the right serving size.

This dessert does look AMAZING (next best thing to Redford is pretty high praise, though). Love the buttery cookie crust, especially.
