I would guess that recipe might need some serious tweaking. Something like
whipped cream folded into the other ingredients, possibly? Splenda and
heavy cream might be the best substitutes, but sweetened condensed milk is
definitely a no-no for us. You could possibly use regular condensed milk
(unsweetened) and add splenda to that. But then you would most likely need
to tweak the amount of gelatin in it.
