I made this. My kids loved it. I used sugar free pudding mix and it turned out fine, as in my kids could not tell. I made it the morning of and served for dinner so cannot say re freezing.

Our family has been making this since the 80’s too. However, We do a pecan crust. 1 stick butter melted, 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup sugar and chopped pecans!!! Bake in over 350 degrees until lightly browned – about 10 mins. Makes a huge difference. Love it and still make this all the time!!
