Thank you! Copied and stored, then went to All Recipes, and looked up desserts with pudding in them. I do a bread that my husband just loves, pumpkin that has pudding in it. Don't do it often since sugar is in it too. He has to be careful of that. But I had been wanting to look up recipes with pudding in them. So I did that. Check that off my want to do list.

@Snoopp

This really is not that sweet, since there is no sugar in the crust. But, if one did want it sweeter, you could up the 10x sugar.

Also, I've done the chocolate version already, (which is what I will also do this weekend). I meant to add the pinch of salt to the crust, and the espresso powder to the chocolate pudding mixture. But now I am thinking that may not dissolve, so maybe a shot of the espresso would work better to enhance the chocolate flavor.
