SO pretty and SO delicious! Not too sweet. Made this for Easter dessert. My family loved it!

I think the crust should have been baked in order to hold its shape, and I totally agree with the "bland" rating. It is much more attractive than it is good tasting.

It's attractive and sounds good. But, it was a bit tedious to make, and the flavor is rather disappointingly bland. Chocolate layer not chocolately enough, and lacks a vibrant raspberry flavor.

How many tsp is 1 envelope unflavoured gelatin as I would like to try this recipe. The gelatin sold here in Asia are packed differently / sizes. Thanks.
