Well, anything that's no-bake is a pretty good candidate for being sugar free. You're just using the sugar for sweetening, not baking chemistry.

Sugar free jello is a good example of this. It doesn't taste at all strange, and doesn't have that aftertaste that so many sugar free products used to have. Works great for a low-sugar strawberry pretzel salad. I almost always use Splenda to sweeten any fresh fruit I have, too.

But yeah, sugar free pudding is one of the great innovations of the past 30 years, for sure. Makes life a lot easier on diabetics, definitely.

Pudding is actually one thing that doesn't taste sugar free, even if it is. I think it's because there are other flavors that sort of confuse your tongue.

I have an awesome recipe for this stuff called chocolate lasagna that's basically cream cheese and whipped cream layered with chocolate pudding. Get some sugar free pudding and use low carb milk, and you've got a dessert that's pretty nearly sugar free. Since you can get sugar free chocolate sandwich cookies now, it's a lock cinch to do a cookie crust that's not loaded with sugar.

Gosh, I wish my dad was around to enjoy this. There weren't nearly as many tasty sugar free options on the market when he was alive.
