Fresh, fruity flavor makes this pretty salad popular with all ages. Our whole family really digs into its fluffy goodness. I can put it together in the morning or even the night before and pop it in the fridge until suppertime. —Denise Nebel, Wayland, Iowa

This is a Thanksgiving favorite in my family. However, I haven't been able to find tapioca pudding mix in years. I use 3 Tbsp tapioca and 1/3 cup sugar. I'm wondering if there are other suggestions?

This is a family favorite! My Husband gets so excited when he sees this on the table! It reminds us of Orange Dreamsicles. So fresh and creamy and great for summer time. I used Kraft Minute Tapioca as well and it turned out perfect!

Mine turned out runny and never set up. Does anyone know why? I used all brand-name products and no generics. I made sure everything was drained thoroughly. I was disappointed by the outcome.

I make this all the time! It is delicious and versatile! It is enough to fill 2 graham cracker pie crusts; perfect for the holidays! Change the flavor by using different flavors of jello and corresponding fruit! (This recipe does not call for instant tapioca) A family favorite!

Sodium total seems very low; 1 pkg of 1 oz vanilla instant has 300 mg; your recipe claims a total of 142 mg. I didn't use the whipped cream to save calories. Need clarification if the jello pudding are sugar free?
