I made this as the recipe as suggested, and used confectioner's sugar, my brother ate a serving and his sugar levels spiked when he tested it after he ate. So If you are a diabetic, omit the confectioner's sugar.

I suggest using real sugar for the base after all it is only 1/4 cup ...and 1/4 cup splenda and 1/4 cup sugar for filling.. all splenda and it will not taste good this entire recipe would then total only 1/2 cup real sugar and taste and texture will be much better... What good is it and if you can't eat it
