"My mother sent me the original recipe for this delightful dessert 45 years ago, and I lightened it up," writes Alice Case of Carrollton, Texas. With bits of angel food cake and a cream cheese-like texture, this refreshing treat tastes so rich that no one will guess it's light.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (5-1/2 ounces each) apricot nectar, divided
  • 1 package (.3 ounces) sugar-free orange gelatin

I avoid the sugar free instant pudding and the frozen whipped topping, including Cool Whip Free, they both contain hydrogenated oils which are TRANS FATS and NOT healthy!

You must use SUGAR FREE pudding and gelatin AS SPECIFIED, for the measurments to be correct. Read twice, mix once!!

Whoops! I guess I didn't read over the recipe well enough...when I saw the "1 pkg. vanilla instant pudding mix"....that's what I added! Didn't see the "1 oz" until it was too late! Wish that was made clearer....

And I don't have powd. milk either....how much reg. should we add?
