Melt in your mouth DELICIOUS! The taste buds loved this dessert big time. The only change I made was to use fresh raspberries and raspberry gelatine as that's what I had on hand. A keeper for sure and will definitely make it again and again!

This is delicious and I'll be making it again. I used raspberries and raspberry gelatin and substituted whipped cream for the whipped topping, after which success I won't hesitate to try other fruits as well. Next time I'll try leaving out the sweetened condensed milk or using half as much. Never thought I'd say it, but the milk makes it almost TOO rich and sweet! Nevertheless this is a recipe I'd pass on to friends.

This recipe has been requested the past 3 years for Christmas! It's delicious!!! I actually started switching out the angel food cake for pound cake. Even better!!!

OMG! This is ABSOLUTELY the best dessert I have EVER had! I fixed one for Thanksgiving and it was completely gone even before anyone had sat down to eat dinner. I actually had to make another one a few days later because I was craving it so bad! Awesomely awesome..that's really all I can say.

This is an amazing dessert. Extremely easy to make and a beautiful presentation. I also add blueberries to the recipe. There is never a drop remaining.
