A friend of mine gave me this recipe about 20 yrs ago and I've been making it ever since. The only I've changed is I use yogurt instead of whipped topping. This dessert is just as great with other flavors that I've used. My family and friends love this dessert whichever flavors I use.

Prepared this recipe for our daughters pre-birthday celebration in August. Ideal for a hot summer evening sweet dessert. Delicious and very easy to prepare!

This recipe always goes over well, especially with kids but adults love it too. I have used other gelatin flavors such as cherry and lemon.

This is such a great dessert to eat. It's worth the little bit of extra work to make it. One of my favorites.
