This looks absolutely delicious! One thing with the recipe though, you may want to update it to show .3oz for the vanilla pudding mix, instead of 3oz. I bought 2 of the 1.5oz boxes and then realized, before I put it in, the regular size is 0.3oz. Thank you!
Hey Jennifer! The cheesecake pudding mix we used is a 3.4 oz. box. The sugar free version is only 1 ounce. That may be the difference, but I don’t know of any .3 or 1.5 ounce boxes of pudding available.
