After tasting this dessert at a church social, I just had to track down the recipe. I was thrilled to learn how easy it is to make. With its smooth pudding layer and colorful berry topping, it's a hit with everyone who tries it. -Magdalene Dyck, Burns Lake, British Columbia

This looks good and I will try it. Great idea to try the lemon gel and peaches RebG. Maybe someone could try Pistachio pudding and another flavor with that. Makes a pretty presentation in glass bakeware.

I was acyually surprised that I liked this as much as I did. I used mixed berries because that is what I could find. The middle layer tasted like cheese cake which I thought was delicious. I will make this again. I also got a lot of compliments.

It was very good! I used strawberry gelatin instead of raspberry, since that was all we had, but still used frozen raspberries. Turned out wonderful! Only thing is, it doesn't make very much. The layers are quite thin, so you need to serve big slices! :) It was nice and refreshing, and was a real hit with my family! :)

Really yummy with the vanilla pudding, cream cheese filling.I made it with lemon jello and peaches.Absolutely delicious! Also quite easy to make.

Very easy to make, especially if you use frozen raspberries, as I did. Mix the frozen raspberries into the gelatin and by the time the other layers are ready the gelatin has congealed enough to complete the layering. This wasn't as good as I expected so I probably won't make it again. It was good, just not good enough for a repeat performance ... in my opinion.

This is a fantastic recipe that I have made time & time again. I am always asked for the recipe. You can also make with strawberries. You can use strawberry gelatin with the raspberries & it turn out delicious too.
