Flo Burtnett of Gage, Oklahoma took this dessert to a luncheon...and came home with dozens of requests for her recipe! "It was quite a success," she grins. "People told me it looked as good as it tasted."

Fun and Yummy. I did change crust to a graham cracker crust (super easy 3 cups of crushed crackers, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/2 cup sugar)- which required no baking, turned out great. Very pretty for 4th of July! I will make again with different varieties of fruit on top for other occasions.
